Default Anyone stocking Hard cast ammo?

Have you seen any shops in nor cal stocking this 10mm Double tap 200gr hard cast solids?
http://www.doubletapammo.net/index.p...product_id=105

Lehigh makes an Extreme penetrator that I would like to try even though its only 140gr... old ammoland article link

https://www.ammoland.com/2014/09/leh...#axzz5u5dai0DE

I stopped in a couple gun shops in MT last fall during hunting season and they didn't stock it either....of course I never would have purchased it even if they had it.....

MT had it in .44 and .357 ...even 9mm

Well it isn’t Doubletap, but Sportsman’s Warehouse has both Grizzly and HSM 200 gr hardcast loads last month, was only $15/20

Call Peninsula Guns and Tactical in San Bruno. I bought 220gr Buffalo Bore there in 10mm. If you are ever near Sac/Folsom, Ammo Depot carries double tap 10mm.

Last month I bought Underwood Penetrators from Triple A Sports in Vallejo in several calibers and they offered to order any other Underwood offerings I wanted. Ammo Depot near Folsom had the Penetrators too but were sold out of 10mm at the time.

Is it okay to use hard cast bullets in a Glock 20. I don’t know much about it, but I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn’t use certain types of bullets (unjacketed?) in a Glock.

I swapped out a G21 barrel for a KKM a few years back to shoot lead reloads.
Not sure of it matters as long as you keep up on barrel maintenance and keep it clean.

HARD CAST BULLETS IN POLYGONAL BARRELS

THE SOURCE OF THE MYTH


True hard cast bullets that are properly lubed (as opposed to lead swaged bullets) will not lead foul polygonal barrels any more than any other type of rifled barrel. Ever since Glock Corporation warned to not use lead bullets in their pistols with polygonal barrels, a myth that hard cast bullets will lead foul polygonal barrels has become widespread in some parts of the firearms world. However, the myth is untrue. Hard cast bullets are not "lead" bullets. (See my article on "Dangerous Pure Lead Cowboy Bullets") Folks (especially folks involved in the shooting industry) have a strong tendency to generalize most everything……if you do this, you’ll end up with generalized results as opposed to exacting results. Because hard cast bullets are grey in color, does NOT make them “lead” bullets.
...
Provided you use real hard cast bullets, that are properly sized and utilize good lube, you can shoot them all you like in polygonal barrels without causing lead fouling deposits at the front of your chamber or anywhere else in the barrel.

Also note that Hickok45 found that some heavy rounds will tumble from Glock’s, but he did a follow up video that shows hot loads wont tumble.
