I believe that I have found the magic choke/load combo for long range coyote whacking with the new Beretta Extrema2. I screwed on a Kicks .680 tube, and shot this paper plate from an honest 50 yards. Fodder was 3" Hevi shot "Dead Coyote".

Thats about as good as you can get. Thanks for sharing.
Now that is a great pattern! ;yes;
Are ya gonna shoot a second one to make sure it isn't a fluke? :shrug:
Rich,
Looks like a winner.
Jerry
Rich,
That's a good looking pattern. Is there any problem shooting those loads through "Lead Only" chokes? I've got a Mossberg and a Tru Glo, both in .690 that I'd like to try to compare to the Carlson's Dead Coyote tube.

I've read that you can shoot the Dead Coyote loads thru most of the brand name "lead only" turkey chokes but after a while it will leave rub or scuff marks in the choke tube.
coyote101,
Kicks Industries don't recommend shooting heavy shot through their "lead only" tubes, but I do it anyway. There is always a chance of breaking the tube I suppose. Someone posted the other day that he split his turkey tube when he shot Hevi-shot through it.
I've been experimenting with my choke/load combinations but haven't had the success Rich has.
What would be the minimum number of pellets in the plate at 50 yards to consider the choke/load combination satisfactory for coyote hunting? :wo:
Number of pellets of Remington HD BB's?
Number of pellets of Dead Coyote T shot?
Did you say Beretta Extrema2 :shck:
Holy Merry Christmas!

Ok, since no one has a guess let me throw this out.
I think 10 Rem HD BB's will do the job at 50 yards. As for Dead Coyote T shot, 5 or 6 should do it.
Anyone disagree??
I'd go along with that. :wo: But with only one coyote shot with a shotgun, I ain't qualified to answer. :nono:

=======================================
I would say you nailed it sir.
Jim C,
Yep that be the one. :wink:
Thanks, Rich.
I got 14 hits on a 9" paper plate at a measured 50 yards with Remington HD BB's. I was thinking that should be good enough but wanted some expert advice. Patterning those 3 1/2 inch shells is not a fun job plus expensive.
