Rem 3 inch # 4 buck should be easy to find at any Academy sports or gun store. The 3 1/2 might be harder to get I know Winchester makes some in 4 buck but you can only buy them in a box of five. We use Hevi-shot mostly becouse they are the only ones who make factory ammo that we shoot witch is 10 guage 3 1/2 # 4 buck they just came out this year and they are expensive but they pattern great and hit like a ton of bricks. We are on hevi shots pro staff so that helps with cost but I would still buy them if we were not. After all calling in 10 dogs close range and getting to get them with the scatter gun at 15-40 yards is worth every penny in my book. Hope this helps Skinner

+1 Academy keeps #4 Buck in stock. Copper plated BB's also do a great job on predators. Use a full choke.
If you get real serious, use the Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote with one of the matching chokes. It will work out to 60+ yards on coyotes.

Thanks Bob---I have a couple Undertaker waterfowl long range/short range tubes I have used with steel and tungsten--they should work for heavy shot, right?

Well we use a kicks buck kicker choke tube
for are # 4 buck loads seems to pattern real
good out to 55 yards. Inside of 40 their dead
dogs walking lol..... For the dead coyote loads
like T shot I would use what Bob said a carlson
dead coyote choke tube built for these shells. FYI
hevi shot is working on some new chokes that should
be out in the near future. Skinner

Carlson's - Dead Coyote Choke Tube is my first choice.
"For use with Hevi-Shot, Bismuth or Lead ONLY - NOT FOR USE WITH STEEL SHOT."
+1 That's what I use.
Mmmm Hmmm
