SUPER X LATE 1950's
I think I may have posted these before. This is 20 ga version was purchased in the late 1950's. My best friend and neighbor was a real heavy load man. He had a Browning Auto 5 Magnum and a Browning 20 to match. These loads required a special buffer ring in the Browning to prevent the bolt from over returning. If he forgot to change rings the Browning became a single shot using heavy 1 oz 20 ga loads.
Best, Austin |

Got an answer to the age question on another forum.
They were made week 6 in 1946. Next question, what exactly is maximum load? |

Max load is SAAMI maximum for the gauge and chamber length. You'd have to go to the SAAMI specifications to find it, its probably around 11,500psi, but that's just my memory. Its not proof, its the maximum service load, which is a theoretical limit determined by proof minus 20%. And to be clear, proof is not rupture either, typically one can double proof before rupture.

That box is a 3 3/4 dram equivalent load which was advertised at 1330 fps.

I grabbed a couple just like that (largest shot charge I could find on short notice) last week when the coyotes were yipping around the house. Didn't get a shot, but would such a load do much damage to a coyote?

Even if the coyote didn't die right off his packmates would be sure he did in pretty short order. Yes, they'll happily eat one of their own.... even before he's dead.
In answer to your question - it depends on the range and the shot size you're using. |

The answer is yes, #4 will do the trick. I regularly carry a Burnham Bros mouth call in the truck. When the quail shooting slows down, and the dogs need a rest, I will call coyotes. Found a good use for those duck loads. Most are shot at around 20 yards, although some will be a lot closer depending on the cover. Coyotes do a number on the deer and Antelope fawns in sothern Arizona. Regularly we will call in more then two at a time.
