Whether youre a rancher checking fences or a hiker traversing overgrown trails, a sudden encounter with a venomous snake or aggressive pest requires a fast, effective solution. The DoubleTap .38 Special 130gr Snake Shot is purpose-built to provide a wide, dense pattern that takes the guesswork out of close-range pest control. Designed to be fired from both .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers, this load is the perfect first-two-chambers insurance policy for anyone spending time in the great outdoors. Key Advantages 130-Grain High-Density Payload: While many competitor rounds feel light, DoubleTap packs a substantial 130-grain load of #9 shot into every shell. This ensures a lethal cloud with no gaps for small targets to slip through. All-Brass Star-Crimped Design: Say goodbye to brittle plastic capsules that can crack under recoil or melt in a warm cylinder. DoubleTap uses a premium brass crimp, ensuring 100% mechanical reliability and smooth cylinder rotation. Optimized for Snub-Nose & Service Revolvers: Tuned to perform out of short-barreled carry revolvers as well as full-sized service guns, this load provides consistent spread and enough velocity to be effective at realistic pest-defense ranges. Cleaner Shooting: The lack of a plastic capsule means zero plastic fouling in your rifling. Your barrel stays cleaner, and your accuracy with standard defensive rounds remains sharp
