Description
The DoubleTap 44 Special 240gr Hardcast load is built for shooters who want more from their 44 Special than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 240 grain Hardcast Solid semi-wadcutter (SWC) bullet to a rated 920 feet per second, producing about 451 foot-pounds of energy from a 6.5 inch barrel. The semi-wadcutter shape cuts a clean, full-diameter hole, and the hard lead alloy holds together so the bullet drives straight and deep.
Why Choose the DoubleTap 44 Special 240gr Hardcast
- 240 grain Hardcast Solid semi-wadcutter bullet
- Rated 920 fps, 451 ft-lbs (6.5 in barrel)
- About 800 fps from a 2.5 in Ruger Alaskan
- Sharp shoulder cuts a full-caliber wound channel
- 20 rounds per box, item 44S240HC
Built for the Trail
- Trail and outdoor carry in a 44 Special revolver
- Protection from animals where penetration matters
- Shooters who want 44 caliber power with manageable recoil
- 44 Special revolvers and any 44 Magnum revolver
DoubleTap also offers a 320 grain hardcast solid in 44 Magnum for maximum penetration, so owners of magnum revolvers can choose between this softer-shooting 44 Special load and a full-power option.
Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance DoubleTap builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the DoubleTap 44 Special 240gr Hardcast until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 44 Special Ammo
The 44 Special is a classic revolver cartridge known for moderate recoil and big-bore performance. DoubleTap loads a 240 grain hardcast semi-wadcutter to a rated 920 fps and 451 foot-pounds from a 6.5 inch barrel and about 800 fps from a short 2.5 inch Ruger Alaskan, giving it deep penetration without the punishing recoil of a full-power magnum.
When you compare 44 special hardcast ammo, remember that any 44 Magnum revolver can also fire 44 Special, so this 44 special 240 grain hardcast load works in both. It is a popular choice for hikers who carry a lighter revolver and still want a bullet that holds together.
DoubleTap Ammunition is an American company known for loading popular calibers to their full potential, especially the 10mm Auto and other magnum handgun rounds. Doubletap 44 special ammo is loaded with quality components and brass cases, and many shooters choose it when they want the performance a caliber was designed for rather than a reduced-power range load.
Hikers, anglers and revolver owners who carry a 44 Special or 44 Magnum and want deep penetration with manageable recoil will find this a practical choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 44 Special, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
