I patterned 3" Winchester Supreme HV 1300fps 1.75 Ounce #5 Lead Turkey loads at 35, 40, 45, and 50 yards. Remington 870, with Indian Creek .665 choke. 50 Yards is no problem as far as the pattern is concerned, but I'd probably recommend #4 Lead over #5 Lead out past 40 yards for Coyotes.
Turkey loads probably kill as many coyotes as buckshot does.
I'm interested in how many coyotes you personally have killed with turkey loads? The ranges shot from, load and choke, and results would be interesting.
