[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3204664, member: 3099"] I'll try to post some pics in a few days, but I was sorely disappointed with everything I tried. Like you, I thought I could surely find a 60 yard load. The only one I think might do it is Federal Flight control 00 buck. When I saw the target on that one I thought I had the perfect medicine. I had 3 boxes of Hornady Varmit Express #4 buck which use the same wad as the Flight Control. No dice. It's a 30 yard load at best and that's running it through a Kicks .655 choke. With the cylinder choke that these Flight Control/Versatite wads are [B][I]SUPPOSED[/I][/B] to be shot through the Hornady was pathetic. It uses nickel plated shot but no buffer. It's also a "slobber knocker" load while the Fed is low recoil. I think that the main key is a buffered shot load. My #1 buck Winchester loads even group pretty good but not 60 yards good. Another route that might work is Winchester XR Longbeard 3" mags. Through a .655 choke they are pretty damned amazing. I just don't know if #5 bird is heavy enough for yotes past 35-40 yards. Guys on youtube say they are, but I don't want to injure what I shoot, even if it's a lowly yote. And +2 on the Dead Coyote loads. To rich for me. :( [/QUOTE]
