When you need deep, straight-line penetration and reliable terminal performance from a compact sidearm, reach for DoubleTap Hardcast Solid .40 S&W 200 Grain WFN. Purpose-built for backcountry carry, trail defense, and heavy-boned targets, this load uses a hard-cast, gas-checked Wide Flat Nose (WFN) bullet that drives straight and true, transferring energy efficiently while resisting deformation. Packed in a convenient 20-round box, DoubleTap’s 40200HC is a top choice for shooters who demand no-nonsense stopping power and repeatable accuracy from their .40 S&W platform.
Why Choose a Hardcast WFN in .40 S&W?
Unlike conventional hollow points that are optimized for expansion, a hard-cast WFN is engineered for maximum sectional density and meplat impact, prioritizing penetration, stability, and straight wound channels. The wide, flat nose cuts a clean path, reduces deflection through intermediate barriers, and helps deliver consistent performance when you need it most—making this an outstanding option for trail defense, hiking, camp carry, and scenarios where penetration is paramount.
