12 ga for Raccoon

swift one

New member
I have a freind that wants to do some coon hunting with me this year. he doesn't have a rimfire but does have a 12ga with a 26" barrel. I have a supply of 2.75" #4 buck shot and I think that would be good for coon and not terrible on the fure as long as I dont shoot them from 5 feet away.

Do you guys think that the #4 wont be too much overkill as long as he isnt point blank shooting them? What type of choke would you recommend?
