Default Anyone try that new HeaviShot coyote load?

Has anyone tried out that new HeviShot Coyote shotgun load yet? It is loaded with T size HeaviShot pellets. I am thinking about getting them for my 3 1/2 inch !!-87 Super MAG. I figured I should be able to get some nice range with enough power to do the job. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them yet.

I have used the 3" load .
At 85 or so yds a yote died in mid jump .
5 pellets hit it mid bodey and forward ,all exited.
Out of the first 6 shots ,I have 5 yotes ( missed 1 on first shot , 2 shot was a clean kill.)
I use a Briley extended Mod in my 11-87 .

1 thing at 20 yds I centered a yote ,hit it with every pellet ,a little messy LOL

Thanks for the reply. I thought I'd get some extra range from those babies. I may even use a box for goose hunting here in PA.
Thanks again

I used some for geese , I used 2 1/2 full neck and body lead for a 80+ yd goose .
The warden saw it fall and wanted to check my shells .
He feels it was closer to 100 and he thought for sure I was using buck shot .
The goose bounced on the ice . LOL

duckwacker
just get the three inchers there are only 3 more pellets in the 3 1/2 and the vol is the same.
three inchers are a buck cheaper.
