BEAR;
Depends on the range your going to introduce them to mortality at. Opinions vary, mostly because of range factors. Personally, the Hornady Varmint Express #4 buck sounds good as an all-purpose 2.75" factory round. Twenty-four pellets at a nominal 1350 fps. Pellet size for #4 is about a quarter-inch, or 6mm. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

| where I'm hunting it is close range. I could see a dog at 75 yards but to much brush, until he gets to about 35 yards. so buckshot is the way i'm thinking. |

This is as good as any thing I can load. I would HIGHLY recommend it to any one. The "Dead coyote" brand is very good too but two to three times more money...  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

In my reloads I use lead "F" shot and 1 1/2 oz. 3" . If I by them I use hornady "BB" 3 ",Both I find with a really tight choke ( .669) out of my 870 is very lethal out over 60 yards ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
