How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
DoubleTap Hunter 360-grain HCSLD is a hard cast solid .45 Colt load made for hunting deer, elk and moose. DoubleTap casts it as a wide flat-nosed solid. At 1,200 fps it makes 1,151 ft-lbs.
From a 25-yard zero it is 1.2 inches low at 50, where it still carries 1,097 fps and 961 ft-lbs. Its estimated recoil of 42.4 ft-lbs in the same revolver is the heaviest of any .45 Colt load in the caliber, about 21 percent above Buffalo Bore Heavy 300-grain SJFP.
If you're cross-shopping, DoubleTap +P 255-grain HCSW is 250 fps faster with 39 ft-lbs more at the muzzle from a bullet 105 grains lighter. Buffalo Bore Heavy 300-grain SJFP sits between the two at 1,325 fps and 1,170 ft-lbs.
- The most energy left at 50 yards of the loads compared
- The heaviest bullet in .45 Colt at 360 grains
- Loses less energy between the muzzle and 50 yards than either load compared
- Loaded to +P pressure, so it belongs only in a revolver built for it
- The heaviest recoil of any .45 Colt load in the caliber, which few shooters will want a cylinder of twice
- DoubleTap Hunter 255-grain HCSW is the standard-pressure load to practise with
