.38 Special SnakeShot Revolver Ammo – 20rd Box

Description

Double Tap SnakeShot reimagines the pistol shotshell with a simple but effective solution to one of the biggest problems with traditional handgun buckshot rounds. Instead of the usual hollow plastic capsule, this round stacks 160 pellets of #9 birdshot above a hardcast full wadcutter projectile. The difference shows in the field.

What Makes SnakeShot Different

Most shotshell loads for pistols suffer from wild, unpredictable patterns because the pellets contact the rifled barrel and spin outward. Double Tap solved this by engineering the shot load so it doesn't engage the rifling at all, keeping pellet spread minimal and patterns tight. At close range where it matters most (2 to 5 yards), you get a concentrated pattern that's devastating to whatever pest problem you're facing. The hardcast wadcutter underneath delivers a solid impact point if you need that extra damage from a single projectile.

Built for Revolvers

SnakeShot performs best in revolvers where the cylinder doesn't interfere with pattern development. Each round carries a 50 grain hardcast wadcutter backed by fine #9 shot for a total payload of 130 grains. Muzzle velocity sits at 1000 fps from a 4-inch barrel, producing a recoil impulse that stays manageable even in smaller guns. The brass cases are new production, boxer-primed, and reloadable if you want to stretch your dollars further.

Purpose-Built for Your Needs

This ammunition was designed specifically for close-range pest control, whether you're dealing with snakes in the yard or rodents around the property. The combination of birdshot spread and a penetrating wadcutter gives you effectiveness against small vermin without overkill on recoil. It's also the kind of load that makes sense for trail carry if you venture into snake country.
