In the Hell's Rebels AP (specifically, book 3 page 62, but that's as spoily as I'll get), a stat block says that the subject is equipped with some bolts that are poisoned with Oil of Taggit. But Oil of Taggit is listed as an ingested poison with an onset time of 1 minute. How would that work when applied to a weapon? The CRB says that contact poisons can be used as injury, but does not say that for ingested. Am I to assume that the intent is to deliver the poison by shooting someone in the stomach and hoping that they suffer quietly for an entire minute before the poison renders them unconscious?

After reading the page, the only explanation I can come up with other than "author doesn't know poison rules" is that the NPC originally had an archetype or class ability that allowed the poison type to be changed.
I would just ignore the poison. Oil of Taggit as a contact/injury poison is brutally effective at low levels.
...the NPC originally had an archetype or class ability that allowed the poison type to be changed...
This was my first thought, as well... I also think there might be special ammunition/weapons that do it, like how Poisoner's Gloves do not "care" what sort of poison you load into them...
PS. However, Pitted Bullets still require a contact/injury poison, so bolts would probably be similar without a class ability that allows you to change the poison's activation type.
Just change it to blue whinnis, same effect if they fail the save twice.
