I've had a hankering to see how the "cast bullet" crowd lives, and see how a cast wfn performs on deer this fall. I'm not 100% sure handloading is going to be for me yet, and dont necessarily want to depend on my handloads yet to hunt with. After researching tons of material on cast bullet design and performance, I decided to go fairly heavy, WFN design. In todays ammo crazy world, it seems everything is backordered and alot of manufacturers are just too busy to even answer the phone. Yesterday, I emailed Doubletap, inquiring about their 320gr 44mag cast ammo. I didn't expect a reply within a week to be honest. My reply from Mike McNett came within a few hrs, answering my questions, and letting me know he had the ammo in stock. I called today, and placed my order with a super nice lady, who said that they were all running ragged with the demand. A short couple of hours after my order, I received an email, with a UPS tracking number , and projected delivery date of next week. I have never shot any Doubletap ammo, so I can't comment on quality or consistency yet, but thought it worth a mention after such a good experience and first impression with their customer service. All to often, all we ever hear about is when somebody is mad. I will post again, after a range session, but if their ammo is as good as their service to a first time customer with alot of questions, I think it should be top notch. That's all, I just wanted to share what I thought was exceptional service, relevant to our sport.

I have heard nothing but positive comments about this company. They seem to be top quality men & women, which is nice to hear of in this day & time.

I have used Double Tap ammo extensively and have had nothing but good results. Their customer service is great and they make a great product. That load you ordered is one of my personal favorites for the .44 Mag and I have taken a number of animals with it.

I haven't used their product but I've heard nothing but good.

+1

I have shot many of their 45 Colt loads and been very happy. Taken only one deer with their ammo but performed as advertised. I know companies like Doubletap and Buffalo Bore could someday be "too big for their britches" but they have continued to do the right thing so far.

Good for them.

ditto on what others have expressed. I shoot a lot of different cartridges from DoubleTap when testing/reviewing guns and hunting. I have found this ammo to be top-shelf plus, Mike McNett is a super nice person.

i've found their hardcast bullets to be a touch on the soft side but they've killed just fine. good quality and good prices imho.
