If you can find some in BB or T I'd give that a whirl.

I know I can find it in 12 gauge....dont know about 20

I would not choose anything tighter than MOD Choke! I myself use a 590 Mossberg Pump in 12ga. and use the Open Cly. shooting #2 & #4 buck.

I would imagine that the #2 'Heavy Shot' would work fine.

I live in an area where the coyote population is out of control, and I shoot them quite often with a 12 gauge using reqular #2 lead shot (lead shot is still legal around here).

The shotgun I use the most has a full choke, and the #2 lead shot is deadly on coyotes out to 50 yards. I also use my 590A1 that has a cylinder bore and it seems to work just as well.
