could you provide some specs on your choke ? i like to fiddle with building them to ,just curios on your material and sizes.

Marty, I bet the coyotes will die if you hit them at 20 yards, I wouldn't want to shoot beyond that with them steel loads if I was expecting a clean kill. That is IF your gun produces a tight pattern with them. I'd personally buy a box or two of a better coyote round.

Marty, I would be careful with steel BB's and a full choke...Might work, but it will really exercise the flexibility of that choke's steel.

Hevi-shot Should also be legal and is superior to Steel in my experience

I can use just the ar and/or the sig 9 or sub 2000 9mm for close.

I'd pick the AR and leave the shotgun at home or carry both and only use the shotgun if they are running you over. wink

Yes, I would try an improved cylinder, and a modified to see which patterned best.

Marty have killed many with #2 lead, bbs and the whole range of buckshot sizes from #1 to triple aught buck. Got a buddy who uses the high powered lead turkey loads on them at his game farm and thumps them. Do a tight pattern lead hi brass load of #4s #5 s even #6s will/might be enough but get ready for a follow up.
