Description
If you've invested in a .327 Federal Magnum revolver, you know you're working with one of the most underrated cartridges out there. Double Tap's Hunter load lives up to the cartridge's potential by pairing a solid hard cast bullet with brass cases that you can reload. At 120 grains and roughly 1250 fps, this load generates enough velocity and energy to perform well on medium game and varmints while keeping recoil manageable compared to larger magnum rounds.
Double Tap Hunter Hard Cast Performance
The hard cast solid bullet design is what sets this load apart for serious fieldwork. Unlike hollowpoints that expand on impact, hard casts penetrate deep and straight, making them ideal when you need to reach vital organs on animals with heavy frames or when you might have to shoot through brush and obstacles. This design philosophy is why many experienced hunters prefer solid bullets for anything that might charge back at you.
Brass Cases for Reloaders
Double Tap ammunition uses brass cases throughout their line, which means you're not throwing away half the value of your ammunition if you reload. The DT Hunter loads are standard pressure, so they'll work reliably in any modern .327 Federal Magnum revolver without pushing things to the edge. Quality control is built in from the start, with premium components and careful assembly that Double Tap has become known for over their years in business.
Why the .327 Federal Magnum Matters
The .327 sits in a sweet spot that a lot of people overlook. You get velocity and power that approaches .357 Magnum territory, but in a smaller frame that holds six or even seven rounds depending on your gun. Less recoil means faster follow-up shots if things don't go according to plan, and the extra ammunition capacity is just good sense. This load gives you a versatile round that handles hunting scenarios and personal defense with the same straightforward, no-nonsense design that hunters have relied on for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Double Tap load safe to use in any .327 Federal Magnum revolver?
Yes, Double Tap's Hunter load is a standard pressure round, which means it's safe in any modern .327 Federal Magnum revolver. However, always verify that your specific firearm is chambered for .327 Federal Magnum before shooting any ammunition. If you have questions about your particular gun, check the manufacturer's documentation or contact them directly.
Why choose hard cast ammunition instead of hollow points for hunting?
Hard cast solid bullets penetrate deep without expanding, which means they'll reach vital organs consistently even if you have to shoot through brush, bone, or if the animal is at an angle. For hunting medium-sized game and predators, that straight-line penetration is more reliable than expansion. Hollow points are designed more for quick expansion, which can be limited when you need to punch through thick material.
Can I reload the brass cases from this ammunition?
Yes. Double Tap uses quality brass cases, and once you've fired them, you can reload them just like any other centerfire brass. This makes the ammunition more economical in the long run if you reload, since you're only replacing the powder, primer, and bullet.
How does the .327 Federal Magnum compare to the .357 Magnum for hunting?
The .327 Federal Magnum delivers velocity and power very close to .357 Magnum, but with less recoil and more ammunition capacity in most revolvers. While the .357 is more common and has a wider selection of factory loads, the .327 is flatter shooting and lets you get more rounds into a compact gun without sacrificing power.
