The DoubleTap 45CSSS2 Snake Shot delivers specialized close-range protection against venomous snakes and small pests in a proven .45 Colt platform. This 220-grain load spreads multiple projectiles in a controlled pattern, making it significantly more effective than single projectiles for pest control applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard .45 Colt ammunition that fires a single bullet, this snake shot cartridge contains multiple small projectiles that create a spread pattern similar to a miniature shotgun shell. The 220-grain load provides sufficient energy transfer while maintaining manageable recoil in revolvers and lever-action rifles. DoubleTap's manufacturing process ensures consistent powder charges and reliable ignition across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- Multiple projectile design creates effective spread pattern for close-range pest control
- 220-grain loading optimized for .45 Colt chamber pressures and barrel lengths
- Compatible with all .45 Colt revolvers and lever-action rifles
- Brass cases suitable for reloading after firing
- Non-corrosive primers prevent barrel damage from residue
- Consistent velocity ensures predictable shot patterns
- 20-round box packaging with 50-case bulk options available
This ammunition excels in ranch and rural applications where venomous snake encounters pose genuine threats to livestock and personnel. The spread pattern remains effective within 10-15 feet, making it ideal for barn clearing, equipment inspection, and trail maintenance scenarios. The cartridges cycle reliably in single-action and double-action revolvers without modification.
