Performance in the Woods

DOUBLETAP AMMUNITION DT emphasizes controlled expansion and deep penetration—critical attributes when engaging large animals at close range in brush or timber. The DT Hunter concept prioritizes energy transfer while resisting deflection from bone and heavy hide. For defensive scenarios against charging or biting animals, those ballistic qualities translate to a higher probability of immediate threat mitigation.

Manufactured by Doubletap Ammunition, these rounds are produced in various models to accommodate common handgun platforms. While specific calibers are selected at purchase, the DT Hunter load philosophy remains consistent: maximize terminal performance without sacrificing feeding reliability. Quality components and consistent manufacturing help ensure that each round functions under field conditions.

Price matters for practice and readiness; DOUBLETAP AMMUNITION DT is listed at $24.99, making it straightforward to budget a mix of defensive and training rounds. View product details and pricing
