| .410 Birdshot | 1 | Birds and small game | |
| .410 Buckshot | 2-3 | Close-range small to medium game | |
| .410 Slug | 3-5 | Bigger animals at short to medium range |
Notes: Folding single-shot shotgun, backpack-friendly; introduced .410 buckshot and slugs.

How to Use the Giddings SSC .410 Coyote
- Switch shells to fit the animal: birdshot for birds and small game, buckshot for close medium game, slugs for bigger animals at short to medium range.
- With birdshot, swing through the bird and keep the gun moving as you fire; most misses are behind.
- Keep slug and buckshot shots close. Shotgun loads lose energy fast past their effective range.
- Carry two shell types so you can take whatever walks into a zone.
- Small game: its lightest load covers class 1, so it doubles as a small-game gun without ruining pelts.
