Anyone have any coyote buckshot load data for # T or # 4 buckshot, using 2 3/4" Federal Gold Medal or Fiocchi hulls? I have approx. 800 of each type of hull. I trying to find a good coyote load.
I tried substituting # 4 Buck for a regular lead 1 1/4 load - 1 1/8 of Buckshot and 20 grains of buffer @ 1,440 FPS. All the other componets match the published load data exactly. I wasn't too happy with the pattern. But this was my first buckshot load. My gun is a full choke.
I have five rounds loaded of an 1 1/8 oz load to pattern today. 23 #4 pellets - 4 grains under 1 1/8 oz, no buffer. Twenty three pellets stack well in a Federal 12S3 wad using an overshot card. Overshot card weighs 1.3 grains. Load is a published Alliant load: Powder - Longshot, Primer - Win. 209, Wad- Fed. 12S3, Grain - 38.1, PSI - 10,600 PSI , FPS -1585. Powder and shot are weighed on a scale.
I have T shot on order.
