The DoubleTap 44MSS2 Snake Shot delivers specialized close-range protection against venomous snakes and small pests with its unique shot-filled cartridge design. This 44 Magnum load disperses multiple projectiles in a wide pattern, maximizing hit probability at typical defensive distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard jacketed bullets that can over-penetrate or miss small, fast-moving targets, this snake shot cartridge contains multiple small pellets that create a spreading pattern. The 200-grain load provides sufficient energy to neutralize threats within 10-15 feet while reducing the risk of dangerous ricochets. DoubleTap's consistent powder charges ensure reliable ignition and pattern density across temperature variations.

- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications

This ammunition excels in rural environments where venomous snakes pose genuine threats to livestock, pets, and humans. The shot pattern remains effective within typical encounter distances while the reduced velocity minimizes collateral damage concerns. Ranchers, farmers, and outdoor workers rely on this specialized load for pest control situations where precision rifle shots would be impractical or unsafe.
