Patterned my shotgun
« on: February 18, 2016, 01:34:13 PM »
I shot Remington, federal blue box, and federal premium number 4 buckshot rem was terrible blue box was good the premium was best I'm good to forty yards wouldn't push it much further. Any thoughts on using bb for coyotes??

I have an 870 that I recently patterned with the same brands and load.  Don't know what choke you're using, but I spent the money and bought a Carlson's Coyote choke.  At 50 yards I put 15 shot into an 18"x10" block of Styrofoam.

I use lead BBs for coyotes,  they shoot best out of a full choke..  Hornady makes them in boxes of 10 for about $12

Federal Premium used to have some copper plated in the larger shot sizes check around and see if you can't find some of them... I have a bunch of #2, BB and some F shot in them for the 10ga...

I Have BB Bismuth, Deadcoyote # 4 Buck Shot, and Federal Premium # 4 shot.  I have aNEF single Shot. However what am I using for Mosquito Creek? Model 37 18 inch smooth bore Deer Slayer cylinder barrel with 2 3/4 R & R #4 buckshot ammo. :)
