The Double Tap SnakeShot is built for people who actually use revolvers in the field and need something more practical than standard birdshot. Rather than just dumping pellets downrange and hoping they spread, Double Tap stacks #9 shot over a 70-grain hardcast wadcutter that engages the revolver's rifling. This design solves a real problem with pistol shotshells: the rifling scatters pellets into unpredictable patterns. Here, the birdshot rides on a copper gas check that keeps it from taking the rifling, giving you consistent, tight patterns while the wadcutter punches through for actual penetration.
Most revolver shotshells are all pellets or all solid, but this dual-projectile approach gives you both. At close range, the pattern spreads the shot for easier hits on fast-moving targets like snakes and small pests. Behind it, the hardcast disk cuts through with authority. From a 4-inch barrel, you're looking at roughly 1000 fps and patterns tight enough to matter in real-world situations. People who've tested these from longer barrels like an 8-inch Raging Hunter report consistent 16-inch groupings.
The recoil is surprisingly gentle for a .44 Magnum shotshell, which means faster follow-up shots and better accuracy even for those not accustomed to heavy-recoiling rounds. Each round carries 200 grains total payload across the shot and wadcutter, striking a balance between stopping power and controllability. The brass cases are boxer-primed and reloadable, so if you're the type who reloads, there's no waste.
This is built for pest control, training, and utility work where you need something more than birdshot alone but don't want the complexity of loading a full rifle round into a revolver. Twenty rounds per box means you get a reasonable quantity without overshooting what most people actually use.
Most revolver shotshells just use birdshot, which spreads wildly due to the rifling and offers minimal penetration. The SnakeShot's hardcast wadcutter cuts through that problem literally by sitting under the shot charge and engaging the rifling for a solid central hit while the birdshot spreads around it. This gives you dual-projectile performance in one round, combining coverage with actual stopping power.
Yes. The copper gas check under the shot prevents it from taking the rifling, so you get consistent patterns instead of the donut-shaped spreads common with traditional shotshells. From a standard 4-inch barrel you can expect tight, predictable groupings. Longer barrels will show even tighter clustering as tested by reviewers using an 8-inch gun.
For a .44 Magnum, it's surprisingly manageable. The 200-grain total payload and the way the load is balanced keeps things reasonably gentle compared to full-power .44 Magnum rounds. People familiar with standard .44 loads note that while you definitely know you fired something, it won't punish you or hamper follow-up shots.
Yes. The ammunition ships in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, so if you reload, you're not throwing away casings. Just make sure you follow proper shotshell reloading procedures and use appropriate powders and components for pistol shotshells.
