The Double Tap SnakeShot Magnum .454 Casull is a 20-round box of heavier pistol shot shells. Double Tap built it to use the extra space and pressure of the .454 Casull case, giving a heavier, harder hitting and deeper penetrating wadcutter. The company lists 22 to 25 inches of consistent penetration in ballistic gelatin. The payload totals 270gr. Double Tap says the consistent shot patterns of its SnakeShot line carry over.
