If I can find them I will post a pic.
With my Briley extended Mod tube48 of the listed 50pellets hit in on a 40" square target.
Anywhere on the paper a yote would have had 5+ pellets.
My target board is 3/4 CDX , it looked like swiss cheese.

RE: Shotgun loads for Coyotes
So I've got to ask now that I see that Highdesertwolf says that the deadcoyote ammo. is very effective out to 100 yards, Just how many coyotes have you shot at and how many did you anchor at the shot and how many took extra shots and how many did you loose? What choke are you using out of which gun?
5 pellets any where in a coyote, that's not going to anchor very many coyotes on the spot at 100 yards!

i know that the BB size shot being .177 caliber is good for about 50 yards. i think there is about 80 copper coated pellets in that load. i'll have to try the hevi-shot it sounds pretty good.

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.!

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.

Yeah, the coyotes west of the Mississippi just arn't very big, my largest to date was a 43# male, and I got him in the high country. The largest one for me out here on the plains was a 40# male.
These new shotgun loads that are on the market are pretty impressive, especially when the hunter does his part and finds the right choke/load combo.
Keep us posted on your success with that stuff and if ya find any better choke/load combo's!!
