Hornady’s Heavy Magnum Coyote load in 12 gauge (part no. 86222) packs a heavy 1-1/2 ounce charge of BB-size nickel-plated shot, built to deliver lethal results with minimal pelt damage out to 50 yards. Hornady engineered this line specifically for close-range predator hunting, using the Hornady Versatite wad to strip cleanly from the shot string for excellent pattern density and a short shot column that maximizes effect on target. The nickel plating resists corrosion and hits harder than plain lead by holding pellet roundness through the barrel. This shotgun shells is purpose-built for coyote and similar predator hunting, not general upland use.
