.410 Slug, coyote

[Blacktail_Slayer]

Would a .410 slug out of a full choke be sufficiant for coyote? Or does the full choke decrease the accuracy too much?, If it is fine, out to what distance?
Or should i just go with a 20 gauge, with screw in chokes?

Here you go-
Remington 410 2 1/2" 1/5-oz Muzzle velocity:1830 50yds:1335 100yds:1040 Ft.Lbs Energy:Muzzle:654 50yds:348 100yds:000

This is the ballistic information from the Remington website on the 2 1/2" .410 Slugger
Thats plenty of power for coyotes. I would not expect much beyond 50yds though.
You should be able to shoot rifled (foster style) slugs through your full choke depending on the brand of shotgun. I only know of one make that warns not to shoot slugs from a full choke on their .410 model only and that is Baikal. (russian made gun) Other than that I have been told many times that you can shoot a foster slug through any domestic shotgun with any choke.
If you already have a 20guage with interchangable choke tubes then go with the IC and rifled slugs. If not use your .410 the ballistics are above or around .357 mag.
