Double Tap’s SnakeShot .41 Remington Magnum (brand part no. 41MSS2) is a pistol shot shell, not a conventional bullet, built to let a revolver shooter fire birdshot with a predictable spread. Double Tap Ammunition designed this shotshell-style handgun load for close-range pest and snake dispatch in the field, where a standard jacketed round is overkill and a true shotgun isn’t handy. Under the 240 pieces of #9 shot sits a hardcast full wadcutter base that helps the load penetrate and cut into the target. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the Double Tap Ammunition load built for that specific job.
