So, lets start with a 12ga pump shotgun..front bead only...24" bbl....
add 2 3/4"...3 3/4 Drams Eq., standard buckshot loads (27 pellets #4 buck)....
don't change any of the criteria above.....just your best response from either experience/first hand knowledge or scientific facts. |

Choke or choke tube?
Steel or lead? Can't compress steel. Some States don't allow lead. Plain barrel = modified Flush choke tube = full Extended choke tube = extra full.675 with lead shot 80 yards effective but not the maximum possible. My experience is on red fox not coyotes. Edited by deaddog |

I use 3" 1 3/8 oz. plated lead "F" and or #4 buck in my 870. It's a longer barrel 28 maybe?
Anyway I use a "Dead Coyote" .669 ( ? ) choke extended ,ported choke. That's really a tight choke. I can get 80% or better in a 10" paper plate at 40 yards. I feel a 75 yard shot is absolutely the max I'm willing to shoot a coyote. I have had a few run off but I feel they where the shooter not the shell... At 70 yards I get around 70% in a 30" target. |
