Since I can no longer shoot coyotes with lead shotgun loads, I am searching for recommendations from folks with CA coyote experience.

It took me a while to settle on shotgun loads for coyotes back when there were no restrictions.

The experience showed my that selecting a 12 GA shotgun load that kills quickly wasn't trivial.

I spend time with by Best Man where we will team up rifle and shotgun.

As a result, we postponed dealing with the shotgun load replacement but it has circled back around to time to figure this one out again.

I was happy with Hornady's Heavy Magnum Coyote which was nickel plated lead BB 3".

Those were developed in a collaboration with Les Johnson of Predator Quest fame and I thought they worked well, even out past 40 yards.

Does anyone have a favorite no-lead 12 GA load that they would recommend, 2 3/4 or Magnum, factory or load recipe?
