Description

Hornady engineered these Heavy Magnum Coyote loads specifically for hunters and ranchers dealing with coyotes and other predators. The 3-inch shell length gives you a hefty payload of nickel-plated lead shot traveling downrange at 1300 fps, creating a potent combination of stopping power and pattern control that works effectively out to 50 yards.

Why Nickel-Plated Shot Makes a Difference

The nickel plating isn't just a marketing angle. It hardens each pellet so they maintain their shape better through the barrel and on impact, which means less deformation and tighter, more predictable patterns. This matters when you're trying to deliver a clean takedown while preserving the pelt if that's part of your goal.

The Versatite Wad System

What really sets these apart from basic buckshot is Hornady's Versatite wad. Unlike standard wads that tumble through the air disrupting your pattern, the Versatite strips cleanly away from the pellets in flight. This keeps your shot string compact and your pellets grouped tight, delivering more energy exactly where you need it. You don't need specialized chokes or gun modifications to get dense, reliable patterns from these loads.

Built for Serious Predator Work

These are magnum loads in the truest sense. The extra powder and shot capacity in the 3-inch shell pushes velocity and payload to levels that exceed standard hunting loads, giving you flatter trajectory and deeper penetration at distance. Whether you're working open country or around farm buildings, the Heavy Magnum Coyote line consistently delivers the performance you need when seconds and accuracy count.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Heavy Magnum Coyote effective for coyote hunting compared to standard buckshot?

These loads pack 1.5 ounces of nickel-plated 00 buckshot at 1300 fps from a 3-inch shell. That extra powder capacity and harder pellets create flatter trajectory, deeper penetration, and tighter patterns than standard loads. Combined with the Versatite wad keeping pellets grouped, you get reliable performance and clean takedowns at 50 yards.

Do I need special chokes or modifications to get good patterns from these shells?

No. The Versatite wad does the work for you. It strips cleanly from the shot string without disrupting pellet flight, so you get tight, dense patterns out of most shotgun barrels without needing aftermarket chokes or gun modifications. This is one of the biggest advantages of the Versatite design.

What's the purpose of nickel-plating the shot?

Nickel plating hardens each pellet so it maintains its shape better as it travels down the barrel and through the air. Harder pellets mean less deformation on impact, which translates to more consistent penetration and tighter grouping. It also reduces fouling in your barrel and offers some corrosion resistance, which is useful if you're hunting in wet conditions.

Are these shells suitable for use in semi-automatic shotguns?

Yes. Hornady loads these to work reliably in both semi-auto and pump-action shotguns. At 1300 fps, they're full-powered loads that should cycle properly in standard shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells. That said, always check your shotgun's manual to confirm compatibility with 3-inch ammunition.
