What is your favorite buckshot/ choke combo? I'm currently using #4 with full choke for coyotes. Seems to pattern decent but has anyone found some good combos out to 50 yards?
You will likely have to try some different ammo and choke combinations. In my 835 I use the ultra mag choke with 00 buck 3" shells. Out to 50 yards I can 10 of the 15 pellets of my Winchester magnum buckshots in a paper plate. Your results may vary.
My nova 24" barrel mod. Choke likes federal 3.5" #1 buck. Can't find it anymore and 3" #1 in winchester don't pattern. I just ordered some tri-ball buckshot from dixie slugs. Its a florida based company and looks like some good hog ammo.
I thought Dixie Slugs went out of business. I have 2 boxes of the Tri-ball ammo and am not man enough to shoot them. The recoil is so bad it will rattle your brain and loosen your teeth. I noticed that Hornady is making a hog shot that is similar. Their round has 2 balls which should be kinder on the shoulder.
I shoot a Winchester Model 12 with a 30" full choke barrel. It only accepts 2 3/4" shells and really likes Winchester #1 unplated buckshot. I have also found that the Federal 00 with flightcontrol patterns well too.
