Double Tap SnakeShot ammunition in .32 H&R Mag offers a practical solution for revolver owners who want effective close-range pest and snake defense. Each round combines 100 grains of #9 birdshot with a 40-grain hardcast full wadcutter projectile—a two-stage design that delivers both spread and penetration without relying on the barrel's rifling to control shot pattern. This matters: because the shot doesn't engage the rifling, you get a tighter, more predictable pattern than you'd see from conventional shotshell loads fired through a rifled handgun bore, making it genuinely useful in the field rather than a gimmick.
The hardcast wadcutter beneath the shot column serves a purpose beyond novelty. It cuts a clean wound channel and penetrates on its own, so if a snake or pest moves or you miss the initial spread, you still have a solid projectile doing work. Combined with the birdshot pattern, this gives you options—the ability to deliver multiple projectiles on a moving target, plus a heavy punch if a single solid hit matters. Recoil stays manageable, especially important in a lighter .32 H&R platform where shooters appreciate controllability.
This is ammunition built for what revolver users actually do: keep a handgun handy while camping, hiking, or working property where snakes and small pests need quick, close dispatch. Double Tap SnakeShot isn't a general-purpose defensive load; it's purpose-built for the specific job of pattern-based pest control from a handheld revolver. Each box contains 20 rounds.

Yes—the ammunition is loaded to .32 H&R Mag specifications and will function in standard .32 H&R revolvers. The shot column is designed not to engage rifling, so barrel twist does not affect pattern predictability the way it would with standard shot shells.
SnakeShot is purpose-built for close-range pest and snake defense, particularly from a revolver carried while hiking, camping, or working outdoors. The combination of birdshot spread and hardcast penetration makes it suitable for situations where you need both pattern coverage and solid impact.
The 100 grains of #9 shot creates the spread pattern and covers area, while the 40-grain hardcast full wadcutter sits beneath the shot and penetrates independently. If the shot pattern doesn't connect cleanly or a target moves, the solid wadcutter still delivers impact and cutting action.
Double Tap SnakeShot is loaded to be gentler on recoil compared to standard defensive ammunition, making it more manageable in lightweight .32 H&R revolvers where shooter control matters.
