You can get it from Cabelas or direct from 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.

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.
