pure lead non coated or either copper or nickel coated?
I like hornadys #4 buck for loading my own. 3" win hull and waa12 wad over long shot packs a good punch. Gotta hand stack the pellets but it's a great load that's put down a bunch of coyotes for me. I'd have to look up how much powder I use. Load is in the Lyman's shot load bookpure lead non coated or either copper or nickel coated?
It doesn't even compare to TSS. Not even close. Lead will work for typical shotgun distances, but TSS will kill coyotes at 100 yards with shot size usually considered for pheasants.Lead works as good as any of the other options.
MR.ADAMS.... AND ALL.....If you really want to hammer coyotes, get some #4 or #6 TSS 18 gram/cc shot. #2 TSS 18 will get pass through on white tail deer at those ranges. #6 will give a large shot count, and TSS patterns stupid tight, and will get pass through farther than your shooting. Do a light weight charge in your 12 gauge, there would be plenty of pellets in a 7/8 or 1 oz load, and load it fast.
We are loading #9's in .410's, a 3/8 oz load going fast is murder on geese and mallards. Getting pass through on Canada's shot at 40 yards. TSS is amazing. Check it out, it's expensive, but how many rounds do you really shoot coyote hunting?
@Wedgy Has used TSS on coyotes and snow geese, he can tell you more on it too.
I would challenge anyone who stated they can reliably put any shotgun round at 100 yds into a coyotes vitals. I have used and patterned TSS when someone I hunted with made this claim. You will wound more than you kill.It doesn't even compare to TSS. Not even close.

Watch Bubbaroundtree on YouTube, long-range predator loads....new world for me.I would challenge anyone who stated they can reliably put any shotgun round at 100 yds into a coyotes vitals. I have used and patterned TSS when someone I hunted with made this claim. You will wound more than you kill.
