Title: 12 Gauge 3 1/2 Winchester # 4 buckshot
Post by: uncle buck on September 12, 2010, 02:26:59 PM: I visited Basspro on Friday...They had Winchester brand 3 1/2 inch 12 gauge # 4 buckshot....57 # 4 buckshot pellets in a 3 1/2. Now if my memory serves me correctly....the 12 gauge 2 3/4 shell as 27 # 4 buckshot.. However 5 of the 3 1/2 shells cost $9.99. However you buy 10 shells in the Hevishot T shot it really going to cost you in the $40.00 range for sure... I think the 2 3/4 Hevishot for 10 each Hevishot T shot was about $32.00.

However I have seen coyotes killed with the 2 3/4 12 gauge # 4 buckshot 27 pellets already...It anchors them real nice...

I can tell you the only time that I use the premium type ammo for coyotes...That is during the Mosquito Creek Hunt... Not that I don't use good ammo all during the year... I like to use Hevishot # 4 shot most times, or Turkey loads, or Tungsten # 1 shot... However I get all of this stuff on clearance... Also I reload my own buffered BB and # 4 buckshot too.....

Neat thing about the 12 gauge 3 1/2 # 4 buckshot is that you have to roll your own 10 Gauge # 4 buckshot. So the 3 1/2 # 4 buckshot is available now... I keep asking Hevishot when are you going to release the Hevishot # 4 Buckshot to the general public?...They just never respond to my request... be it on their web site or even on Facebook.. :'(

Shyda's doesn't have it and doesn't plan to order any. I think that when I called the guy was fighting w/ his wife or girlfriend or both.
