HEVI-Shot Dead Coyote Varmint 12 Gauge 3" #T Shot FAQ:
The Dead Coyote Varmint uses ultra-dense tungsten pellets with a density of 12 g/cc, significantly higher than steel. This higher density results in better energy retention and penetration at longer ranges, making it more effective for predator hunting.
The 70-yard effective range of Dead Coyote Varmint is considerably longer than most traditional shotgun loads, which typically have a maximum effective range of 40-50 yards. This extended range is due to the ammunition's high-density tungsten pellets and optimized load design.
While Dead Coyote Varmint is generally safe for modern 12 gauge shotguns, it's always recommended to check your firearm's manual or consult with the manufacturer. Some older or lighter shotguns may not be rated for the higher pressures generated by this high-performance ammunition.
#T shot provides an excellent balance of pellet count and individual pellet weight. It offers enough energy for clean kills on coyotes and similar-sized predators, while still providing a dense enough pattern for increased hit probability at longer ranges.
While effective, Dead Coyote Varmint is not designed or recommended for home defense. Its long-range capabilities and penetration power may pose safety risks in a home environment. It's best to use ammunition specifically designed for home defense purposes.
While Dead Coyote Varmint can be used with standard chokes, many hunters find improved cylinder or modified chokes work well for predator hunting distances. It's always best to pattern your shotgun with different chokes to find the optimal combination.
While it's highly effective, Dead Coyote Varmint is primarily designed for hunting and may not be allowed or practical for many competitive shooting events. Always check the rules of the specific competition before using any specialized ammunition.
Yes, Dead Coyote Varmint can be used in most modern semi-automatic shotguns rated for 3" magnum loads. However, as with any high-performance ammunition, it's advisable to check your shotgun's manual or consult with the manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
HEVI-Shot designs their ammunition to perform consistently across a wide range of environmental conditions. However, prolonged exposure to extreme humidity or temperatures can potentially affect any ammunition's performance and should be avoided for optimal results.
