3" #4BK lead, 3" Remington HD BB, 3" Hevi-Shot "T".
All 3 are proven coyote crunchers. 3 1/2" shot columns are just un-necessary and sometimes depending on choke and shot combo's can hinder your patterns.

Dead coyote with the dead coyote choke. They are not cheap, but very effective. We shoot them in 3" and have had great success.

Chupa no that's a safe queen I bring out for conversation. That gun was only fired 2 times since 1972. The shot guns we use daily our Browning BPS pumps with 28 inch barrels and patternmaster chokes. Me and Tj both have 1 each in my oppion for shooting predators you can't beat those guns they hold 5 shells and can reach out and woop something. Ammo is a little high but well worth it to put the animal down right. It was nice talking with you the other day like I said before if you ever want to get together and do some hunting hit us up. We love to hunt predators and make new friends. Take care Seth

I run Hevi-shot DC "T's" in mine as well. It has been painted so many times and the paint flakes off over time. Because of all the residual paint on it, we call it the "Ugly Stick" because from a distance it looks rusted, but it's just a bunch of mismatched paint that makes it look rusted. It was nice talking with you the other day like I said before if you ever want to get together and do some hunting hit us up. We love to hunt predators and make new friends. Take care Seth Seth, that sounds like fun man. I'm not one to "invite myself" along on a hunt, just say the word and I'm free. Chupa
