Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote 12 Gauge 3" 1-1/2 oz BB is a specialized, high-performance shotshell purpose-built for predator hunting, delivering devastating results on coyotes and other close-range predators while preserving pelt quality.Engineered as part of Hornady's Heavy Magnum® Coyote series, these powerful 3-inch magnum loads pack 1-1/2 ounces (approximately 42.5 grams) of nickel-plated BB shot — larger pellets (.177 caliber) that provide excellent penetration, energy transfer, and reach out to 50 yards with minimal pelt damage. The nickel plating reduces deformation and flyers, ensuring tighter, more consistent patterns for reliable one-shot stops.At the core of this load is Hornady's innovative Versatite® wad technology, which strips cleanly from the shot string, creating a shorter shot column and superior pattern density — even in Improved Cylinder or Modified chokes. This results in maximum terminal performance without the need for expensive specialty loads.Loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1,300 fps, these shells deliver magnum-level power in a package that's effective, economical, and dependable in 12-gauge shotguns chambered for 3-inch shells. Hunters praise their hard-hitting impact — often described as dropping coyotes with no tracking required — making them a go-to choice for predator control in timber, fields, or open terrain.
