any one use a 410 shotgun i got a rossi matched pair for the little ones 22lr and a 410 shot gun with buy the way is way too much kick for eaven my 9yr old. so if yes what load as i was thinking when the 3 of us go calling whom ever is calling can carry the shot gun as we dont have one between us as of yet. maybe for my birthday my wife will be nice.

NO! Way too small of shot charge. No proper loads of large shot. No proper chokes available. This would register in the "stunt" catagory.
 
I agree with GC concerning the shot loads. However... slugs are available for the 410, 1/5 oz. 41 caliber at 1815 fps. There is no doubt that will put a coyote down solidly with good hits at close range. They are expensive, you would have to do some experimenting to find YOUR max acurate range with that little bead front sight. You can figure it to be CLOSE. However, if that is the only firearm available to you and you are willing to accept the necessary close range accuracy limitations????
 
oops when i said the 3 of us i ment adults not the kids i would be with 2 guys with rifles i as the caller have been suprised several times by coyotes showing up with in 20 yards of me and i got a hand full of call witch i find scary i was mainly thinking of the 410 as emergency back up for the rifles .223 .243 22-250 probably be better off with my 40sw it sounds like.
 
1st fox for me was with a 410 shooting 3" #6 @ 10-15 yards. Shot in the head and neck area and dropped dead. We were running our beagle at the time and the fox was walking down the tracks sniffing the dead hares we had along the way. I will never forget that day, 8 bunnies and a fox, pretty exciting for a 10 year old.
Target of opportunity.
