Been shooting Brenneke slugs for over 30yrs. Started out when they were Brenneke Rottweil. Would commonly get passthroughs on Minnesota deer. Best one was a 20ga 3”. It broke both shoulders and went through a 4” fence post. The shot was at 50yds and the buck was 276lbs dressed

These are my last ditch timber gibbon round. I used to do a lot of hunting ( I live in Minnesota) and our deer are not what I'd call small. I had a ten point not recognize I put a 30/30 through it...well into it. The fact you got pass through and trimmed a fence post is really good.

I saw these reviewed a few years ago and picked up a couple of hundred. They are just nuts. Saying the slug is a lot harder than a normal lead slug is no joke. These things will punch through barriers and brush like its not there. Recoil impulse is pretty spicey for a 160lb fella like myself so follow ups get a little tougher but you will probably only need one unless its a T-rex coming at you. HIGHLY recommend.

Eric, when you shot the jell blocks, you are starting off at a slightly higher elevation than the blocks, then you are shooting into the blocks at a downward angle. You would nee to either raise the blocks up to the level of the shotgun, or get down a bit lower so the barrel is in a straight line with the blocks. Hope this makes sense. Keep up the good work!

Get some nail polish! Use around the primer pocket and edge of shell. That is all commercial ammo sealent is. Some reloading supply places sell it, arked up in cost, and relabled. Use a red or green or black so you can see it was done. Let dry, and you don't need much. Won't hurt balistics. Makes em waterproof for a long, long time under water.

@basshunter428 3 ай бұрын

In order to keep the path of the slug in a central path you must make sure the shotgun is reasonably level with the gel blocks or slightly below depending on distance and projectile arc. Also, when charged by a bear (hopefully this never happens) drop to your knee (if at all possible) and fire as most misses occur in this scenario because the animal has past under the point of aim by the time the shot is fired. Bears can be lightning fast! Great video!

Just looked up information on this slug from the Brenneke website itself. According to the website, the "tail" is supposed to break off in the wound in order to hold it open. That way, on the off chance that your initial shot isn't deadly, you'll bleed out the game via the open wound.

Brenneke slugs are great, but, can be hard to find. An alternative to the awesome Brenneke slugs are Fiochi slugs. What sets both of these slugs apart from the crowd is the antimony. Antimony is added to lead to harden the lead. The more antimony the harder the slug gets. The Special Forces slug from Brenneke is so hard that it will go through an engine block. I found fantastic results with the Winchester PDX-12. Also hard to find. A one ounce slug with three 00-buckshot following the slug. Fiochi has the Buck & Ball slug. A one ounce round ball slug followed by three 00-buckshot. Some not often heard of slug options.

@DrQuagmire1 12 күн бұрын

I don't know man, i've fired quite a few Slug brands, Federal, Winchester, and Remington to name a few. I haven't tried the Fiocchi or Brenneke brands before, but the Remington Sluggers clocking in at 1800-FPS is quite brutal and bruise your shoulder if you fire enough of them and aren't used to them
