Description

This lot comprises two factory boxes containing a combined total of 100 rounds of DoubleTap brand 10mm Auto ammunition. The collection includes one 50-round box of 180-grain Controlled Expansion cartridges and one 50-round box of 135-grain Nosler Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) cartridges. Both loadings are high-velocity defensive rounds, with the 180-grain load rated at 1350 fps and the 135-grain load rated at 1608 fps from a 4.6-inch barrel. The cartridges feature premium nickel-plated brass casings for corrosion resistance and enhanced cycling. Visible headstamps are marked in a circular pattern around the primer, reading DOUBLE TAP and 10mm AUTO. The black cardboard boxes feature a light blue oval logo with the stenciled text DOUBLETAP AMMUNITION accompanied by two stylized bullet holes. An American flag graphic is present on the front of each box with the text Made with Pride in the U.S.A. printed below. Adhesive white labels on the end flaps provide technical specifications for each specific load.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears in overall excellent condition with no visible oxidation to the nickel-plated casings or projectiles. The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear and handling damage. The top box displays crushed corners and frayed edges on the end flaps (photo 1, 2). The bottom box exhibits similar corner crushing and minor peeling of the black finished paper along the edges (photo 2). One cartridge is displayed out of the tray to confirm the JHP projectile type and shows no defects (photo 3).
