Normal double. Surely ad the lower range but still normal.

Normal Spade lead. Yes, now he can make the contract from pure power. So what? Pd has AK in one suit, not shattered values. So you must find the suit, where pd has his honours. You failed, so did 50%.
If his values had been in all suits, your lead had surely produced the most tricks.

It goes a bit against the grain to double the opponents into game at IMP scoring where it might make or go one off depending on the lead. I am not so sure that this is a normal double. Might be right at Matchpoints.
