Still looking for feedback on real experience. I still believe #6 or smaller is the way to go with TSS especially in a 12g.
Your first post asking this question was over 2 years ago. Have you not killed anything with the loads you are asking about in that time?
Ah, time does fly. No I have not killed any coyotes with #6 TSS. I have with #4 though. I have killed Bobcats with my crossbow and a rifle. I am also running a trapline for cats. Basically I am looking for a load for short range that will be effective for both coyotes and cats with as little pelt damage as possible. I do not generally kill coyotes during the warmer months.
Should I not be able to find a good load of TSS for this project I may switch back to LB #5. Either way I will be continuing to experiment but just welcome any real world experience anyone would like to share.
