The DoubleTap 44S240HC delivers proven stopping power for home defense situations where reliability and controlled expansion matter most. This 240-grain semi wadcutter design combines traditional accuracy with modern ballistic performance in the respected .44 Special cartridge.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard round nose bullets, the semi wadcutter profile creates clean wound channels while maintaining excellent accuracy at defensive distances. The 240-grain weight provides substantial momentum transfer without the excessive recoil of magnum loads. DoubleTap's consistent powder charges deliver velocities around 850 fps from 4-inch barrels, optimizing performance for home defense scenarios.
Key Features
- 240-grain semi wadcutter bullet design for reliable expansion and clean wound channels
- Optimized for .44 Special revolvers with 3-6 inch barrel lengths
- Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 850 fps from 4-inch barrels
- Low-flash powder reduces night vision disruption in low-light situations

This ammunition excels in home defense applications where over-penetration concerns require controlled expansion. The semi wadcutter design cuts clean holes in targets while the moderate velocity reduces the risk of excessive penetration through interior walls. Law enforcement agencies have relied on similar .44 Special loads for decades due to their balance of stopping power and manageable recoil.
