Been trying to locate online some Fed lead bb loads with no success. Does anyone know if they still are available and if so where to find them online?
 
Also, forgot to mention that I have Hevishot bb shotshells would these work as good or almost as good as lead bb loads if they are still available? Mainly concerned about penetration and not as much patterns because my Hevi bb's pattern we'll up to 50 steps.
 
Have you tried BPS.I got a box from them not long ago.HS is heavier so you'll get more penetration with that load.To pricey though IMO.
 
I am pretty sure that Hevi-Shot only comes in size "B", #2s or Dead Coyote T shot.

Hevi-Metal has BB size shot but it is just a high dollar steel load. The Federal 3" Lead BB load would be a much better coyote load than any steel load would be.

If anybody was thinking about buying the high dollar Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote loads check out the above Federal Heavyweight BB loads first. They are better and cheaper than Hevi-Shot.

The Federal Heavyweight shot is much denser than lead and Hevi-Shot is. Hevi-Shot is 12g/cc, Federal Heavyweight shot is 15g/cc. It says right on the box that Federal Heavyweight shot is 35% denser than lead.

The Federal Heavyweight BB Coyote load has 12 more pellets per shell than the Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote load has. I have shot quite a few coyotes with Federal Heavyweight #2 shot and it is unreal on how good it works on coyotes.

The shells in the above two links are a very good buy at todays prices. Winchester Xtended Range loads are the same density as Hevi-Shot and Rem HD shot. These Win Xtended range loads are about 40% cheaper than Hevi-Shot loads are now.

The above link is the only place I found the Federal 3" Premium 1-7/8 oz copper coated BB loads.

The Federal 1-7/8 oz lead BB loads should have around 15 to 18 more pellets per shell than the Hornady Heavy BB coyote load. The Federal shells are 3/8 oz heavier than the Hornady "Heavy" load is.
 
Bought 100 rounds of Remington 3" # 4 buck, lead. 41 pellets per round. The cost was a little over a buck per round. Why would you pay any more???? They are devastating for sure. Look on ammo to go under buckshot!

Not sure why I'll include the following info but here goes
2014 season starting in April
Coyotes called and seen (a lot maybe 16?) I hunt alone so probably miss seeing some
Killed 10 seven with Remington #4 buck

Whoops! I lied, shot one of the ten from the road 208 Yds ( and that one was NOT with # 4 buck, rock river 55 gr v-max
