Can anyone recommend a choke tube for these "dead-coyote" T shotgun shells? Do they work as advertised? | ||

Full Choke. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/sta...lls&_requestid=38387 Liberty is worth whatever the country is worth. It is by liberty that man has a country; it is by liberty he has rights." -- Henry Giles Rifleman. | |||

Westernmassman I'd pattern the shotgun with the full choke to see what it looks like. I have two shotguns that I use for turkey both have extra full Turkey chokes. A 10 GA. Browning BPS and a Remington 12 GA. 870. The Browning will pattern 4, 5 and 6's about equaly well. However the Remington doesn't shot 4's worth a damn with the turkey choke. The full might work for you but with the bigger heavier non-lead shot my guess is that a Improved Modified or a Modified is going to be where you end up. Neither of my guns will shoot buckshot best with the regular full choke (number 4 buck). | |||

i have found the best choke for this load was the patternmaster.exspensive but well worth it.the second choke that did well was the hs waterfowl choke make especially for T,BB, AND B shot | |||

Some good information to be found on the Predator Masters web site concerning shotguns and large shot either lead or hevishot. tnyotehunter gave you a good rundown of his efforts to shoot the ultimate pattern. What gun are you shooting? If it is not an overbore barrel you will probably do well with a .675 extended choke designed for the hevishot. | |||

Interesting test results. Thanks I have a 1300 winchester turkey special with lengthened forcing cone, and burnished bore. I have a Gilmore Red Dot mounted with a saddle mount. With my rhino choke and Nitro shells I can get 230 hits in a 10" circle @ 40 yds. I will use the same shotgun setup for yotes, but with a different choke. I will check out the other web site. | |||
