shell size for 50 lb prey

Post by catlynn54 » Mon Feb 14, 2005 6:18 pm

I have my great-grandfather's 12 ga shotgun along with dove/quail shells.
What size shell should be used for eliminating prey of about 50lb? I mean for instance coyote size or so.

I would use buck shot. Pretty much any size will do just get them inside of 25 yards to be sure of a killing shot.
