The Double Tap SnakeShot 41 Magnum combines the versatility of birdshot with a hardcast projectile backing. This isn't your typical shotshell load. The 175-grain payload pairs 240 #9 shot pellets with a 55-grain hardcast full wadcutter positioned beneath the shot column. That dual approach gives you two distinct effectiveness profiles from a single cartridge.
The #9 shot in this load doesn't engage the rifling, which means less centrifugal spin and tighter shot patterns than traditional shotshells. The hardcast wadcutter underneath does engage the rifling and delivers a solid, central strike. This combination produces more predictable patterns than typical revolver shotshells, which matters when your targets are small and you're working at close range.
Loaded to 1000 fps from a 4-inch barrel, the SnakeShot delivers gentle recoil despite the 41 Magnum's reputation. The light-for-caliber wadcutter keeps felt recoil minimal while still providing penetration and cutting ability. This makes extended shooting sessions tolerable and follow-up shots straightforward, even in larger frame revolvers.
This round was engineered specifically for situations where conventional ammunition doesn't fit the job. Whether dealing with snakes, rodents, or other small varmints around property, the SnakeShot handles the task without overkill. The brass cases are reloadable, and Double Tap's manufacturing tolerances keep powder charges within a tenth of a grain for consistency.
Yes, it will function in standard 41 Mag revolvers, but the load was specifically designed and tested for rifled revolver barrels. The #9 shot avoids the rifling while the hardcast wadcutter engages it to provide the designed pattern control and penetration. Double Tap recommends against using suppressors with this load.
The shot pellets don't engage the revolver's rifling, which prevents centrifugal spread that normally scatters pellets. The copper gas check on the hardcast wadcutter keeps the shot column compact during the firing sequence. This design choice deliberately minimizes the spinning action that would spread the pattern.
Yes, each round contains a 55-grain hardcast lead wadcutter seated beneath the #9 shot. It engages the rifling and delivers a solid hit at the center of your pattern, giving you both shot spread and penetrating power from one cartridge. This dual-purpose design is what makes SnakeShot different from standard birdshot loads.
The brass cases are reloadable, which makes SnakeShot more economical for folks who reload. Double Tap loads these with extremely tight powder charge tolerances, holding each charge within a tenth of a grain for consistent velocity and reliability.
