[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 2056481, member: 104589"] I’ve used my SBE III to kill close to 50 coyotes now. It has worked well as a coyote gun for me. If you have patterned it by now then you will have already found out it shoots high as designed by Benelli. It comes with some wedges so you can adjust it some but your fast fire 3 will fix that the high shooting issue. I’ve thought about adding a red dot to SBE but I don’t think it would help me kill more or less coyotes. Hornady makes a “Heavy Magnum Coyote” load that I’ve been very happy with in BB. You don’t need a tight choke to shoot it because the wad is designed to keep the pattern tight. I’ve been able to buy a box of 10 for $12 on sale. $1.20 per shot is much better than $5-$7 per shot for Hevi-Shot dead coyote. I’ve had both rounds kill coyotes stone dead at 40 yards and don’t intend on using my shotgun beyond 50 yards so I don’t see a big advantage in paying extra $$ for TSS or Hevi-Shot. Buckshot loads will work for coyotes but I think the nickel platted BB loads created by hornady for coyotes is an excellent balance for cost and performance. I think you are smart not trying to turn your shotgun into a 70 or 80 yard coyotes gun. Just like killing a coyote at 800 yards with a rifle, a 80 yard shotgun kill on a coyote is possible but to be consistent at extreme ranges takes significant practice. I have much more confidence in anchoring a moving coyote at 70 yards with my rifle than I do with my shotgun. In general I like to shotgun coyotes 40 yards or less but have killed coyotes at 50+ yards with a shotgun. I’ve also had to finish of several 50+ yard shotguned coyotes with my rifle. [/QUOTE]
