Ok so I could be wrong but what i understand
Shotgun is to FF or .230" unless its deer season then buck shot or slugs only
None Deer season shot gun and smooth bore blackcpowder is FF/.230 only.
Except when you use a rifle or Rifled muzzle loader there is no restrictions on cal size?

If I where to actively go after coyote i would just wait for open season out side shotgun deer season.?
Use a rifle or rifled barrel muzzle loader?

T shot cant hold much energy past 50 yards, for effective kills? Like i said im unlikely to spot a coyote in the brush or woods at 50 yards anyway.

Theres not many places with the amount of choices for reloading shotshell than BP.

Super Buck Lead #F (8 lb/jar) .220

Shot can be expensive: although when your looking to buy out side the buck shot/slug and dove /turkey load s and load what you need when you need it the cost are not a huge factor.
Pick up a Mec Jr or Lee load all.
A call to BP an they can hook you up with everything needed to load "coyote" loads.

Did you get a price, poking around I see $6 a shell!
I dont know how well these are for hunting ? They are half the price of the "coyote" loads

I finally got around to mounting a thermal scope on my VR80, and sent some Winchester VarmintX BB loads downrange. My DIY thermal targets worked out well for the shotgun - toe warmer taped behind 1" hole in cardboard. Pattern was okay with the OEM full choke, but I'm going to look at options to tighten it up. These loads through my Versa Max Tactical patterned very well with the Remington Turkey/Predator choke. Total weight with thermal scope & 5 round mag is 12.65 lb.

That's a nice pattern for 30 yards

That's a nice pattern for 30 yards

For reference, that backer is about 18" square.

FYI: I can tell you that if you shoot a coyote with a 12 gauge 2 3/4" 1 oz slug, it WILL create a LARGE hole in the hide!
Not good if you're trying to do something with the pelt. I'm going to have to get creative on this pelt that I got last week.

Congrats on the tote. Another good tote.


Pfffft.

This was done with a Rage broadhead shot out of a crossbow some years ago.
