Title: # 4 Factory buckshot!
Post by: uncle buck on October 08, 2013, 09:58:14 PM

All kind of foreign # 4 buckshot around. Can't las had a box of 25 on sale!
I purchased with the pretense to use for fox. The FPS is 1345!
Notice I have some premium Federal pheasant loads # 4 shot the FPS is 1500!
I have premium # 4 buckshot Frderal Super Magnum # 4 buckshot but no FPS velocity on the box.
Also some factory ammo does not reflects FBS at all it reflects drams of powder. Such as 3 1/2 drams!

What drams and or what FPS should be a good factory # 4 buckshot to anchor coyotes?
Will # 4 Buck that has 1345 FPS be good for coyotes to?

When hunting coyotes I only use the best # 4 Buckshot. However the foreign # 4 buckshot might just be good for gray and it red fox!!!

I remember I had some Czech # 4 buckshot from Gander Mt. It hardly kicked like a magnum load!

I do reload my own # 4 buck shot! I use nickel platted and use magnum Blue Dot powder!  Never shot at coyotes with it but have killed reds right there with it!
