I have been using 3" 00 buck out of my stoeger o/u 12 what do you guys use?

Switch to #4 buck.. you'll be happier with the results.

I just switched from 4 -buck (good ) to Hevi shot Dead coyote load (great),it is sold by Hevi Shot .
You can get it from Cabelas or direct from Hevi Shot.
I use a MOD tube for the Hevi shot

I use either #4 Buck or BB HeviShot. I shoot both of those out of a gobbling thunder .685 choke screwed into a Mossberg 935 3.5" autoloading shotgun. The shotgun is topped by a Tasco red / green dot pro point scope.

I like hevi shot for waterfowl just to expensive to waste on a yote, for yotes I use my Mossberg 835 with a steel full choke with T, TT or F shot. Steel shot penetrates better then lead has less pellet deformation.

johnch, what is the effective range of the "dead coyote" load. Thanks Ed

I use buffard #2

Highdesertwolf Have you ever shot steel shot and lead in to any thick wood? I won 20 bucks off a guy that says his steel shoot would penatrate better. You may want to give it a try.

here we use BB shot, that is the biggest we can use. and it works.
