Doubletap Ammunition 44MSS2 Snake Shot .44 Magnum 20/50 Rounds

DoubleTap Ammunition's Snake Shot in .44 Magnum brings a practical solution to a common revolver challenge: effective close-range pest and snake defense without excessive recoil or over-penetration. This .44 Magnum shot load pairs #9 birdshot with a hardcast solid projectile, giving you both spread capability and stopping power in a single round. The #9 shot doesn't engage the revolver's rifling, which means tighter, more predictable patterns downrange compared to traditional shotshell loads. Whether you're protecting a camp perimeter or dealing with unwanted wildlife, Snake Shot delivers reliable performance in a compact package that's manageable to shoot all day.

The engineering here is thoughtful: the hardcast solid beneath the shot column provides penetration and cutting capability to handle larger targets, while the shot itself handles smaller threats. This dual-function design means you're not choosing between birdshot and buckshot—you get both. Recoil stays mild enough that follow-up shots are fast and accurate, even in a day of extended shooting. Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to 1000 fps from a 4-inch barrel, with a 200-grain shot payload and 70 grains of hardcast solid per round.

Snake Shot is purpose-built for .44 Magnum revolver owners who want practical defense against pests and snakes without the downsides of standard shotgun loads or heavy magnum rounds. It's accurate, controllable, and designed to work specifically in revolver barrels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between DoubleTap Snake Shot and regular .44 Magnum ammo?

Snake Shot is specifically engineered for pest and snake defense at close range. It combines #9 birdshot (for spread on small targets) with a hardcast penetrator solid, delivering both shot and bullet capability in one round. Standard .44 Magnum rounds are typically solid or hollow-point projectiles designed for hunting or defense against larger threats.

Will Snake Shot pattern well from a rifled revolver barrel?

Yes—the #9 shot doesn't engage the revolver's rifling, which prevents centrifugal spread and delivers tighter, more predictable patterns compared to shotshell loads fired from rifles or shotguns.

Is this load suitable for shooting snakes and small pests?

Yes. The combination of #9 shot and hardcast solid is designed specifically for close-range pest and snake defense, with mild recoil for quick follow-up shots.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 20 rounds of DoubleTap Snake Shot.
