But I think something like lead T shot or as Charlie said lead B or BB would be good coyote medicine . I dont have anywhere to try buckshot on deer . The area we have to hunt is mostly hogs and its wide and open , you're looking at about 300 yard shots .

I shoot 0000 and 00000 thru all my 10’s no problem . The largest I’ve ever heard of the factory loading for a 3 1/2” 10 was 00 .

It was a small custom ammo outfit , they are no longer is business.
I just ran across a odd 10 ga load . https://www.ariaballisticengineering...e-P-p127503785

Thats 3 3/4oz , would love to see what pressure that generates haha .


The 0000 load was basically like this one but from a different outfit .

Theres quite a few small custom ammo stores now selling exotic ammo.

I dont currently own a 10 ga 3.5" gun but its interesting to see new ammo developed for it .

I dont have a desire to shoot a 3+oz load out of a 10lb gun either , I done that once .

I’d used up all the 000000 pellets so decided to cast today .Just finished casting enough of the 000000 balls for 10-12 rounds and seven of the .775” balls . My outdoor thermometer in the shade said 98 . Ran the weed eater around the house while I was waiting for the lead to liquify . Then goterdone as quick as possible !
