The Double Tap achieves 2,825 ft/s (861 m/s) and 4,700 ft⋅lb (6,400 J) with a 270-grain Barnes TSX from a 23-inch barrel Ruger 77 African. The .375 Ruger's greater case capacity, and the "short fat" cartridge efficiency lead to increases in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 fps over the .375 H&H Magnum cartridge.
