Double Tap SnakeShot for the .327 Federal Magnum delivers a unique two-part approach to pest and varmint control. The round combines #9 shot with a hardcast full wadcutter, giving you both spread and punch in a single cartridge designed for revolvers and compatible handguns at close range.
The design of this SnakeShot load sets it apart from typical shotshell offerings. The #9 shot doesn't engage the revolver's rifling, which eliminates centrifugal spread and creates tighter, more predictable patterns than you'd get from a standard shotshell. Sitting beneath the shot is a hardcast full wadcutter that penetrates and cuts cleanly through your intended target. This means you get the pattern coverage of birdshot with the penetration benefits of a solid bullet, all while keeping felt recoil manageable.
Double Tap manufactures this ammunition by hand using quality components held to tight tolerances, with powder charges kept within plus or minus one-tenth of a grain. The brass cases are new production, non-corrosive, and reloadable for those who want to handload. At 1000 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4-inch test barrel, the SnakeShot Magnum delivers 14 to 16 inches of consistent penetration in ballistic gelatin while maintaining that controlled shot spread. This balance makes it effective for snakes, rodents, birds, and other small nuisance animals without being overkill or leaving excessive recoil.
If you're working around a ranch, hiking in snake country, or just need a reliable way to handle pest problems around your property, this load fills a gap that standard defensive or hunting ammunition doesn't. The .327 Federal Magnum platform itself is naturally easy to shoot compared to larger magnum handguns, and this particular load keeps things even friendlier. It's loaded to function reliably in .327 Federal Magnum revolvers and compatible firearms.
Yes, this shotshell is designed to function in any .327 Federal Magnum revolver. It uses standard boxer primers and reloadable brass, so it cycles like conventional ammo. Just like any new ammunition type, test it first to make sure it patterns the way you want at your typical working distance.
Because the #9 shot doesn't engage the revolver's rifling, you get much tighter and more predictable patterns than you'd see from a typical shotshell. This controlled spread, combined with the hardcast wadcutter underneath, makes the round more versatile at slightly longer ranges than standard shotshell loads.
This ammunition is specifically designed and labeled for pest and nuisance control. While it delivers both shot and a penetrating projectile, it's engineered for the unique demands of close-range varmint and snake work rather than defensive scenarios. Consider purpose-built defensive loads for personal protection.
Yes, the cases are boxer-primed reloadable brass, so you can reload them if you have the dies and equipment for shotshell reloading. Double Tap holds powder charges to extremely tight tolerances at the factory, so consistency is already built in if you choose to shoot them as loaded.
