DoubleTap SnakeShot .32 H&R Magnum ammunition (brand part no. 32HRSS2) is a specialty shot cartridge built for shooters who want a fast way to deal with snakes and other small pests without swapping firearms. DoubleTap builds this load on consistent, quality-checked components for dependable performance shot after shot. In place of a single bullet, the case is loaded with a capsule of fine shot that opens shortly after leaving the barrel, throwing a pattern instead of a single point of impact. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the DoubleTap load built for that job.
