When it comes to accuracy of the shot, I am a d-e-a-d shot. I was on my HS rifle team and won dozens of competitons. Most of my experience when it comes to hunting, has been using .308 AR-10s or .223 boltactions and AR-15s. My accuracy isn't really an issue as much as being a stealthy hunter who can get my target close enough. I figured that since I am going to be using either my .410 or my .22WMR, a .410 rifled slug would be the best choice and I didn't even consider buckshot.
The .410 I have is a little old, it was my dads, I believe it was manufactured in the
1960's or 1970's. Its a bolt action .410 Mossberg G4. I am not 100% sure if it is drilled and tapped for a scope, I need to check when I get back to FL; its been sitting in a gunsock for over a year in my safe.
On another note...Would a .22WMR be a good Coyote caliber? The rifle is a Savage 93GL Left Hand bolt action (yes, I am left handed). The scope I paired with it is Tasco .22 Rimfire Riflescope 3-9x32 30/30 Reticle 1/4 MOA. I am not sure which ammo type would be the best. I was thinking about using something like 30grain or 40 grain HP that has around 2,200fps velocity.
Thanks,
