DoubleTap 500 SW 380gr SnakeShot – Powerful .500 S&W Magnum Snake Shot Ammo, 1300 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The DoubleTap 500 SW 380gr SnakeShot load is built for shooters who want more from their .500 S&W Magnum than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 380 grain #9 shot payload over a 180 grain hardcast solid to a rated 1300 feet per second from a 7.5 in barrel. Each shell carries about 400 pieces of #9 shot plus a 180 grain hardcast solid, and DoubleTap reports 22 to 24 inches of consistent penetration in ballistic gelatin.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance DoubleTap builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the DoubleTap 500 SW 380gr SnakeShot until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 500 SW Ammo

Owners of big-bore revolvers who want 500 sw snake shot now have a load that does more than scatter pellets. The DT SnakeShot Magnum line throws a consistent pattern of #9 shot for snakes and small pests at close range.

This 500 sw 380 grain shot shell also carries a 180 grain hardcast solid, and DoubleTap reports 22 to 24 inches of penetration in gelatin. That combination gives a much more decisive result than a standard shot load while using the same revolver you carry for larger animals.

If you already trust doubletap 500 sw ammo for bear country, loading a SnakeShot Magnum or two in the cylinder gives you a practical option for snakes without switching guns.
