Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/2 oz BB Nickel Plated Shot - Box of 10

When you're hunting predators like coyotes at close range, you need a shotshell that delivers consistent, hard-hitting results without overkill expense. The Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote 12 Gauge 3" shotshell loaded with 1-1/2 oz of nickel-plated BB shot is built for that job. These 12-gauge magnum rounds give you the pattern density and stopping power predator hunters expect, backed by Hornady's reputation for quality ammunition engineering.

What sets these loads apart is the Hornady Versatite wad design. That wad strips cleanly away from the shot string, which means tighter, more consistent patterns downrange and less erratic shot spread when it counts. The short shot column design concentrates your pellets for maximum effect on target—critical when you're making a clean, ethical kill. Nickel-plated lead shot resists deformation, keeping round pellets round so they fly true and group reliably.

If you're comparing options, these magnum loads hit a real sweet spot: they're loaded hot enough to handle coyote-sized game effectively, but they won't break the bank the way tungsten or specialty materials do. You get legit predator performance at a price that makes sense for hunting, not just collecting ammo. Each box contains 10 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the effective range for coyote hunting with this load?

These Heavy Magnum Coyote rounds are designed for close-range predator work. The Versatite wad and short shot column are tuned to deliver tight patterns and concentrated shot placement at typical predator hunting distances.

Will BB shot work in my 12-gauge shotgun?

BB shot will chamber and fire in a standard 12-gauge shotgun, but you should always verify your specific shotgun is rated for 3-inch magnum loads. Consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure about compatibility.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 10 rounds of Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote 3" 12-gauge shotshells loaded with 1-1/2 oz of nickel-plated BB shot.

How do nickel-plated pellets compare to plain lead shot?

Nickel plating helps pellets resist deformation during firing, which keeps them round so they maintain consistent ballistics and pattern better downrange. This contributes to the tighter patterns these loads are designed to produce.
