Full choke and slugs

[giddyhitch]

Just thought I would bust some yotes with it if I can

I would use buckshot for yotes.

[bobcat]

I use BB's and they work good, out to about 40 yards. #4 buckshot is another good choice, and if you don't mind spending a little more money, the "Dead Coyote" loads with size "T" shot are supposed to work good at extended ranges.

[giddyhitch]

I just pick up some 00 buckshot today Federal that ok Good for how many yards?

[BC CHASER]

Slugs work great too,  i have a picture under my profile pics of  dog I dumped with a slug out of my hastings rifled barrel.  We can hold 4'' groups at 150 yards with the Federal rounds,  I did see Remington has a new slug out and I will for sure give them a try!

[dontgetcrabs]

I would think that would take out a yote at 60+ yards? Just aim a little high at long range.

[bobcat]

00 Buck would throw a pretty sparse pattern for shooting coyotes. The only way to really know the effective range is to take them out and pattern them on a large sheet of paper. I'd be betting that your 00 Buck loads will have too many holes in the pattern to be reliable past 40 yards. Sure a single pellet to the head, or through the lungs might put one down out to 100 yards, but you'll be wounding more that will end up suffering a slow and painful death, than you'll be killing. You'll get more range out of the others I already mentioned than you will with 00 Buck.

I just refinished my Sportsman 48 will I need to dull it down for the yotes?

[bobcat]

Here ya go. This is what you need:

[giddyhitch]

I just bought #5 shot is it to small?

[bobcat]

Well yeah, but it depends. I think #5's would be good on a coyote to about 30 yards, maybe 35. But there are definitely better choices.

[giddyhitch]

Ok I like your shot box so I'll see if I can get some $35 I bet

Yep, nothing more manly than tossing that mangy flea infested urine dripping and bloody dog over your neck and packing him out that way...

"oh man, why the hell did i just sling this mangy flea infested urine dripping bloody dog over my shoulders like this? that didn't make any sense at all..."

Savage 24F, no problem shooting slugs with a IC choke tube in.Screw in chokes are not a problem,just size 'em to your load.
