Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote ammunition effective for predator hunting?

A: The Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote ammunition is highly effective for predator hunting due to its powerful load of 1 1/2 oz of nickel-plated BB shot, high velocity of 1300 fps, and 3-inch shell length. These features combine to provide excellent range, penetration, and lethality for taking down coyotes and other predators up to 50 yards away.

Q: What is the purpose of the nickel-plated shot in this ammunition?

A: The nickel-plated BB shot used in this ammunition serves multiple purposes. It provides improved corrosion resistance, enhances the shot's hardness for better penetration, and helps maintain a more uniform shape during flight. This results in tighter patterns, increased velocity retention, and improved overall performance compared to standard lead shot.

Q: How does the Versatite wad technology benefit the shooter?

A: Hornady's Versatite wad technology in this ammunition strips cleanly from the shot string, resulting in excellent pattern density. The short shot column ensures maximum effect on target. These features combine to provide consistent and devastating performance, increasing the chances of a clean, ethical kill when hunting predators.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for other types of hunting besides predator control?

A: While primarily designed for predator hunting, particularly coyotes, this ammunition can also be effective for other large game birds and varmints at appropriate ranges. However, it's important to check local hunting regulations, as the use of BB shot may be restricted for certain game or in specific areas.

A: Each box of Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote 12 Gauge ammunition contains 10 rounds. A full case consists of 10 boxes, totaling 100 rounds.
