So with only 3 coyotes killed with that load, you are able to draw a conclusion that it is very effective to 100 yards! I'd be willing to bet that add about another 17 shot at coyotes, out near 100 yards, and we will hear that it might not be the best medicine at those ranges! I'll be looking forward to this fall, to hear from your experience, after you get more "real world" testing done!!
It is very impressive, BUT I think we need more than 3 coyotes killed to draw a definate conclusion that it is "very effective" at 100 yards.!
howler,
you make a valid point there, perhaps I should reword what I said. The dead coyote loads have been very effective sofar. Just that I am highly impressed with these loads I would have never dreamed of a shotgun load that could kill a coyote at 100 yards untill hevi shot came out with these.Also I should mention coyotes in these parts are rather small, small enough my 17 HMR CCI 20 grain game points have been effective to 150 yards on these critters. I have yet to bag one over 35 lbs.
