Frequently Asked Questions
How does #00 buckshot compare to BB shot for coyote hunting?
#00 buckshot pellets are larger and heavier than BB shot, delivering more energy per pellet and deeper penetration at closer ranges — typically under 40 yards. BB shot offers a higher pellet count and can be effective at slightly longer distances where pattern density matters more. For most coyote hunting scenarios, #00 buckshot is the preferred choice when shots are inside 50 yards and you want maximum stopping power with fewer, harder-hitting pellets.
Will nickel-plated shot actually improve my pattern compared to standard lead?
Yes. Nickel plating hardens the shot pellets and creates a smoother surface, which reduces pellet deformation as they travel down the bore. Less deformation means more spherical pellets exiting the muzzle, which translates to tighter, more consistent patterns at distance. For predator hunting where precision matters and shots can come at awkward angles, this pattern improvement is a genuine field advantage.
What choke is recommended for these Hornady Heavy Magnum Coyote loads?
For optimal pattern density with 00 buckshot, a Modified or Improved Modified choke is generally recommended as a starting point. Full chokes can work but may cause excessive pressure with heavy magnum buckshot loads — always verify your specific choke tube is rated for buckshot use. It's worth patterning your shotgun at 25, 40, and 50 yards with different chokes to find the tightest, most consistent group for your individual barrel.
