Favorite shotgun load/choke combination

I was just wondering what you guys prefer for your shotgun setup. My goal for next year is to get a coyote with the shotgun. I shoot a Browning BPS 12 gauge that can handle 3" shells.

I just bought a Carlson's Dead Coyote choke tube. This summer I plan on doing some patterning with different loads and chokes.

Throw out your favorite combos and I will consider trying them. Also, any distances you think are the best for testing it out? I am new to shotgunning predators.

If I were you I would shoot every different lead shot you can think of. Every gun likes a different load. Your gun might pattern different shot better than someones elses. You got a long off season to do some testing

There is a thread under RELOADING on just this subject.

full choke, #4 buck shot is best, all big game hunter in afraica use it on lions wounded, because you have more with more foot pounds, and more shot to hit with
if you feel something is watchen better look around
