DoubleTap SnakeShot .44 Remington Magnum 200-grain shotshell ammunition (DoubleTap part no. 44MSS2) gives .44 Magnum revolver owners a dedicated close-range option for snakes and small pests. Double Tap Ammunition builds its SnakeShot line around a fine shot charge packed inside a capsule engineered to pattern from a rifled revolver barrel. For hunters, ranchers, and backcountry travelers who already carry a .44 Magnum, this round means no second gun or caliber is needed to deal with a rattlesnake underfoot. It is a specialty tool, not a defensive load, and shooters should keep that distinction in mind when loading a cylinder.

Key Specifications

• The load is part of DoubleTap’s SnakeShot line, purpose-built for revolver cartridges.

• At roughly $1.50 per round, this specialty load is priced in line with other capsule-shot ammunition.
