.38 Special – SnakeShot Ammo – 130 Grain #9 Shot/Wadcutter – 20 Round Box
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS, CALIBER, LOCAL LAWS, AND SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE PURCHASE.
DoubleTap SnakeShot .38 Special 130 Grain ammo is a revolver shotshell load built with #9 shot over a hardcast full wadcutter. This is a field-use pest-control load for .38 Special revolvers, giving shooters a predictable shot pattern with a secondary hardcast wadcutter underneath the shot column.
This is not standard defensive hollow point ammo. It is not range FMJ. It is purpose-built shotshell ammo for close-range pest work where a normal bullet would be the wrong tool and a shovel is too personal.
Ammo / Use Check
- Use only in firearms clearly chambered for .38 Special.
- Designed for revolver use as a handgun shotshell / snakeshot load.
- Loaded with #9 shot over a hardcast full wadcutter for close-range pest-control use.
- Pattern and point of impact can vary by firearm. Test it before trusting it, because snakes do not offer refunds.
Does NOT Fit
- Do not use in firearms not chambered for .38 Special.
- Do not buy this expecting normal hollow point, FMJ, or standard defensive-bullet performance.
- Do not assume this will feed or perform like regular ball ammunition in non-revolver platforms.
What It Does
This load gives .38 Special revolver owners a close-range shotshell option using #9 shot with a hardcast full wadcutter under the shot charge. DoubleTap describes the design as helping produce a more predictable spread from a revolver while keeping recoil gentle.
Why It’s Worth It
SnakeShot fills a specific lane: snakes, pests, and close-range field problems where a normal bullet is not the smartest answer. It is a niche round, but a useful one. Not every ammo shelf needs to be all tacticool hollow points and range FMJ — sometimes the enemy is a rattlesnake with bad manners.

Disclaimers
Ammo is more than metal and powder — it’s the embodiment of freedom. We sell freedom in brass cases. Sadly, some states fear that truth and hate freedom.
Freedom-Hating Zones: AK, CA, CT, D.C, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, RI — and any other state that thinks neutering the 2A makes them safer. We don’t ship there. Period.
Paperwork States: If your overlords demand permits, IDs, or FFL transfers, cough up the documents or your order dies in Valhalla’s spam folder.
Age: You must be legal age (18+ long gun ammo, 21+ handgun ammo).
We know it’s not your fault — freedom is often punished where it should be honored. But remember, rights not defended are rights surrendered. If you want to breathe freer air, everything’s bigger in Texas — the skies, the BBQ, and most of all, the freedom. Pack your bags, bring your appetite, and join us.
