Thank you! Would you recommend me trying several different kinds of buckshot? Such as the one you're talking about and 000?

[Antlerz22]

Yes, however triple ought (000) is rather big--like only apx 8~9 pellets in a 2 3/4in shell. So smaller and more like #1 and #4 are more than big enough but have much more pellets and offer less deformity coming out of the tighter chokes. However your gun might shoot 000 well and if thats the case go with it, but IMO its a bit beyond whats needed or what would simply be better as far as more in the pattern.

Below is a link to pretty good shot shell info

Good link 220...Thanks

[220swift]

hopefully it will help. seems to be a lot of questions about shot shells and shot size.

[Coyot.223]

So y'all do think that an improved cylinder with the right shot shells could be good for coyotes if I stay within say 30 yards?

[Coyot.223]

And thanks 220!

[Antlerz22]

Made a shortcut to that--good info easily looked at and understood, thx for the link 220!

I absolutely think that they will work at that range. Perhaps farther...that's why you need to pattern the gun.

I had my Benelli Nova 12 gauge dipped in camo because the barrel was starting to get a few rust spots. I use this shotgun for just about everything. Raccoon, waterfowl, turkeys, skeet, but no coyotes yet. Somebody I hunt with has a very itchy trigger finger when shooting their rifle, LOL. Most of the time I use a modified choke. By the way, anyday spent hunting is 10 times better than anyday being stuck at work.

Thats the one, didnt know the exact spelling but it was close enough LOL

[ARmed.223]

Been following your post and thought I'd give my 2 cents worth even though I'm a newbie. If you say that your gun is an 1100 it means that you have to stick with 2 3/4 shells but don't be discouraged. In my experience ( more in turkey and duck hunting) I have found that many times a 2 3/4 will pattern better then many 3 or 3 1/2s but that has been a few years back before the new coyote chokes have come out so things may have changed by now. But still. All it takes is 1 well placed pellet. May wanna check your local laws before shooting slugs. Some states put limits on what you can use for small game and night hunting. None the less patter it no matter. Good luck out there. Shoot strait kill clean
