I dont want to go into details, because I dont want to lower anyones opinion of me before you know me.
I would imagine that there are lots of different ways to make a bowling ball. Now, this was an OLD worn-out bowling ball from a bowling alley so, it may not have been state of the art. The core had been poured in, I'd swear to it. The shell had no mold line at all, and it was TOUGH plastic, more like nylon or a hard urethane. I can't see how they could possibly have built it any other way. Swear to Dog, it looked like some kind of fine-grained concrete to me. That's how these guys are avoiding blowing guns up. Obviously these ammo houses can't get it quite dialed in like that but they can come a damned sight closer than handloaders can, because handloaders don't have access to pressure test gear. Both give you the same bullet at the same speed. If we're dealing with 357Maggie, a load that jumps fast to 35,000psi and holds it there for, say, 2 milliseconds (that's an example, not an exact figure!) will put as much heat on the bullet as a load that goes to 70,000 for 1ms, except that the latter could blow the gun up. NOTE: one major trick is that they have pressure test gear on hand to make sure their loads reach SAAMI pressure levels quickly and then "hold there" for a while. My CCW gun is loaded with the first two rounds as quality 38+P (Speer 135gr) and the next four with those same DT125s as executed that ball. Not for use in low-quality guns, and in some calibers/types you see special warnings (like the BuffBore 44Spl says "NOT FOR CHARTER ARMS!") but for the right gun, these guys are good. The guy whose backyard range this was said he'd never seen a handgun to that to a ball - he claimed he'd seen 7.62x39 from an AK do similar. Turns out a bowling ball is about 1" of hard plastic shell with concrete poured in. At 20 paces I got lucky, hit it dead on, split the ball in half and sent pieces of the concrete core (at least one fist-sized) back past my feet. This was a 125gr Gold Dot slug loaded to near 1,600fps, shot from my Ruger New Vaquero 357 with a 4.68" barrel.
#Double tap ammo full#
I took a shot at a bowling ball once with a Doubletap 357Magnum full house. But Doubletap is good stuff and less money than BuffBore. Tim Sundles at BuffBore is probably doing the biggest volume and seems to have the "edgiest" stuff. DT and Buffbore tend to load both hardcast choices and various personal defense hollowpoints, depending on caliber. There are three small ammo houses that make some of the most potent ammo you'd ever want WITHOUT verging over into blowing people's guns up.ĭoubletap is one, Buffalo Bore is another, and Grizzly Ammo does the same but hardcast only.
