Full description and what we offer
DoubleTap Ammunition started in Mike McNett's garage in 2002 with a simple problem: he couldn't find high-performance 10mm ammo that met his standards. So he built it himself. What began as a one-man operation has grown into a manufacturer that refuses to cut corners—every cartridge that leaves the facility gets physically inspected by human hands and eyes.
"Most of the problems with ammunition performance stem from errors in the way a cartridge is assembled by an automatic machine. Having a cartridge inspected for error by human eyes and hands is something that can't be replaced by a machine."
The company's quality control approach is their differentiator. While most manufacturers rely on automated assembly lines, DoubleTap maintains personal oversight of every round. This hands-on process has built a reputation that keeps shooters coming back and referring friends.
DoubleTap manufactures loads across 50+ rifle calibers, including:
Pistol and revolver loads in 30+ calibers:
