[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1408524, member: 6145"] Boy, i have never shot buck shot very far. for conversation, a 2 3/4 inch 12 gauge 00 buckshot has 9 - 32 caliber pellets in it. It seems to me that those 9 pellets are going to spread out quite a bit - a whole lot after, say 30, 40 yards. And, that 2 2/4 shells kicks quite a lot. i am shooting a 870 express. Now- shooting a slug out of this smooth bore shotgun is really on at 50 yards. a 3" pattern with iron sights. these are plain jane remington slugs. I also can get a pretty good pattern at 100 yards. I am positive that buckshot will not have a tight enough pattern to kill a coyote at 100 yards plus at what distance does the kenetic energy deminish to the point it will not kill? so imo, the slug would give you more of a chance. be sure you spend the time and sight in your gun with the slug you are going to shoot.
