I am favorably impressed with the 165 gr. Double Tap ammo I use in my 10mm -- gets about 725 Ft.-lbs of ME.

I have been looking at Double Tap's .357 Sig ammo that uses 125 gr. Sierra JHP bullets with 1450 fps MV and 584 Ft-lbs of ME out of a 4" barrel - for use in a Glock 32.

Has anyone here tried that ammo? If so, what are your impressions?

Thanks,

--Bob

sierra jhp's are a an old design. corbon still uses them in most of their ammo. they always separate/shatter on impact, which sacrifices penetration.


...and welcome!

That load with the 125 gr. Sierra JHP is $41 per 50-rd box. For the same price, I can get their loading of a 115 gr. Nosler JHP that gets 1550 fps and 614 Ft-lbs out of a G32.

They also make a loading using a 115 gr. Barnes TAC-XP lead-free bullet at 1450 fps and 547 ft-lbs, but that one costs almost 50% more -- $59.95 per box of 50.

They make a heavier loading with a 147 gr. Bonded Defense JHP bullet at 1250 fps and 510 ft-lbs, but they only sell it in lots of 500 rounds for $395.00, which is the same price as 500 of the Noslers. But I've never heard of Bonded Defense bullets, and I don't want to use that heavy of a bullet.

So I might try a box of the Noslers and see how they shoot.

See the link below.... These guys are good for self defense ammo... They do't have exactly what you are looking for, but they've got Winchester Ranger 125 grain SXT for a much better price than you mentioned. The Ranger ammo is top notch in my book...

Ed, thanks for the info. I went to the link you provided and it indeed seems like a good deal -- $29/50, with larger wuantities cheaper. Do you have any fivures on its muzzle velocity?

See the link below, but I think it's @1350 fps
