I'm basically looking for the equivalent of a ballistic calculator designed for shotgun pellets.
My interest is in which hits harder at long range, (for use on coyotes) steel shot such as Remington Hypersonic Steel @ 1700fps or Federal V-Shok Heavyweight @ 1350fps (lead)
Both are in size BB which should give me a much tighter pattern than larger buckshot which obviously hits harder but has very very thin patterns at 40 to 70 yards.
Also, I'm just not ready to spend 4 to 6 dollars a shot on the "hevi" shot and similar products, hence my wondering about good old lead vs new super high velocity steel.
