I use a 12 gauge for general use and most generally load it with 2 3/4", 1 1/4 ounce, 4 shot. I use this in a 590 A1 (20") with a cyl bore as well as an 870 with a 22 " modified choke are they acceptable for a yote at around 25 yards or should I use something else?
Thanks |

Use buckshot for coyotes and a modified or full choke at 25 yards and a full out to 40, with a turkey choke past 40. |
| I generally just take my turkey gun and whatever turkey loads I have for it. Right now its Heavy Shot 3" shells and an appropriate ported choke (cant remember brand). I'm good out to about 60-70 yards with it on yotes. I don't save the hides though, just keeping calves safe. |
