Long range waterfowl hunting.  Coyote ammo also?

Yea, I need to get all my #2 hevishot shot up so I have room on the shelf for some of the new "B" hevishot waterfowl loads and the new "Dead Coyote" hevishot loads which are "T" sized pellets.  Unfortunately I have 3 boxes of the #2's, that's alot of coyotes to find and shoot.  So I might have to pick up some duck stamps and take to the water this fall and drop some ducks.   :wink:

I'm really curious what would be the optimum size.  The #2 hevishots are relatively small compared to BB and T shot, but there are so many of them and the hardness and retained velocity/force behind them penetrates very well.  The BB and T shot would obviously penetrate deaper, but there are alot less pellets.  Kind of like do you want 100 bigger pellets driving 90% through a coyote or 200 small pellets driving 70% through a coyote.  Which would do more damage?  Or is it a wash, dead is dead, both work, get whichever you gun patterns better?

Things that make you go Hmmmmmm.  8)

Then again as my Grandma use to say, six to one half dozen to the other... you could always buy some slugs for them 'Yotes.... or anything else that ran bigger...of course most people complain about the cost of an average Sabot so I can imagine what they'll be sayin' about the cost of a  Hevi-shot slug or Sabot....MTNMAN :grin:
