Doubletap Ammunition 41Mss2 Snake Shot 41Mag 20 Per Box/50 Case

Double Tap's Snake Shot in 41 Magnum combines the versatility of a revolver with practical field performance for close-range pest control and self-defense. This 41Mag snake shot load pairs #9 birdshot with a hardcast full wadcutter projectile underneath, giving you two different ballistic solutions from a single cartridge. The shot column doesn't engage the revolver's rifling, which means you get a tighter, more predictable spread pattern rather than the wild dispersion typical of rifled-barrel shotshells. That translates to cleaner, more reliable hits on small targets at practical distances.

The hardcast wadcutter beneath the shot charge adds bite where the birdshot alone might fall short. It penetrates and cuts on impact, letting the round do real work on everything from snakes and small game to pest control scenarios where you need more than just shot. Recoil stays remarkably gentle—mild enough that follow-up shots are fast and accurate, even in a revolver with modest ergonomics. If you run a 41 Magnum revolver for truck, camp, or backcountry carry and want to keep it useful for more than just major threats, this is the load that makes sense.

Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to 1000 fps from a 4-inch barrel. That's enough for real-world practice and field use without committing to bulk. Cases ship in boxes of 50 (2.5 boxes per case), so you can build inventory as your shooting plans evolve. Not every revolver load works well in the backcountry—this one does, combining shot spray, penetration, and controllable recoil in a single round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 41 Magnum snake shot work in my revolver?

Yes, if your revolver is chambered in 41 Magnum. The ammunition is designed specifically for 41 Mag revolvers and uses a non-rifling-engaging shot pattern, so you'll get tighter spreads than you would from traditional shotshell loads.

What's the difference between the shot and the hardcast projectile?

Each round contains #9 birdshot (175 grains, about 240 pellets) stacked above a 55-grain hardcast full wadcutter. The shot gives you spread for small, fast targets; the solid beneath it penetrates and cuts for situations where birdshot alone isn't enough. This combination lets one load handle pest control, small game, and close-range defense.

How much recoil should I expect?

Recoil is described as very gentle, which makes it comfortable for extended practice and rapid follow-up shots from a revolver. This is a 41 Magnum load, not a full-power magnum hunting round, so felt recoil stays manageable.

How is the ammunition packaged and shipped?

Rounds ship in 20-round boxes, and cases contain 50 rounds total (2.5 boxes per case). This packaging lets you stock up gradually without buying in massive bulk.
