Whether you're limited by law to shotgun use for predator hunting, or whether you simply prefer it, it's widely known that wild hogs and coyotes can be hard to put down quickly and cleanly. It might make you feel like your place at the top of the food chain--as the apex predator--is in question. That's why APEX Ammunition has released its Predator line of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells. Meticulously handloaded, these TSS rounds deliver exceptional downrange energy with maximum lethality to take down the toughest coyotes and hogs.

APEX offers 12-gauge 3½” and 3” shells in shot sizes 2, 4, and BB, and 2¾” 20-gauge loads in shot sizes 2 and 4. These ultra-dense, larger-size pellets deliver a devastating payload with tight patterns and superior penetration.

Terry Denmon, President and CEO of MOJO Outdoors, said, “I’ve hunted game from elephants on down and, pound for pound, coyotes are about the hardest to kill,” said Denmon. “At MOJO, our sport is calling predators in close to kill them with a shotgun and before I tried APEX predator loads, we were limited to about 50 yards. With APEX, we make clean kills out to 90 yards. It’s a game changer, and I’ll never hunt predators with anything else.”

When asked about APEX shotshells, Torry Cook of MFK Game Calls said, “I was an APEX skeptic at first, but one shot made me a believer. The pattern density and penetration are unmatched, and now it’s all I shoot. I love the #2’s and #2 / 4 blends ...From turkeys, to hogs, to any kind of predator, APEX is my choice every time!” MSRP $49.99-$74.99 per box of 5 rounds, depending upon load chosen; ApexMunition.com
