Thanks, fellas, I appreciate it. Hard to find 3" #4's in anything that isnt a turkey load, anymore...........steel shot is killin me !! I shoot #4 Buck when I'm coyote/bobcat huntin, but I figured that #4 Buck might be a bit much for coons, & I wanted to know that I was putting more lead in the face than #4 Buck had to offer.
Can't find what you want, make it. There are many buckshot and round ball molds available to the caster. Or buy bagged shot from Hornady.
Too much for coons? Dead is dead.
Walmart used to clearance shotgun shells after the season. Seen steel sell for a few dollars a box.
