I HAVE tried the Winchester Xpert 12ga Coyote loads (bismuth BB shot, vs the Hevi-shot bismuth T shot) and the new Winchester Blind Side "Hex BB", frankly, I wasn't impressed. If you're going to cost twice as much as 00buckshot, I'd expect substantial range improvements, but I didn't get them.

In the past, I have used bismuth T shot for coyotes, and just didn't get the same range I do with 00 buckshot. I'm sure the "precision molding" of the Hevi-Shot products will make a huge difference at range compared to standard shot, and T shot definitely has greater spread and density than 00buck. The advantage, in my book at least, is that 00buck is basically like firing 15 22mag shots all at once. As long as they get out of the choke happy, I'm golden.

To each his own, both will dang sure work on dogs at night. I like bigger shot, some guys like wider sprays, hit what you're aiming at, and a coyote won't argue with either.
