[twogun1969]

@twogun1969 The problem with factory loaded Brenneke is that they are expensive and often hard to source.

[manga12]

I like them, but few places carry them, though check out gander mountain near where you live we got tones of them at the one around here, or buy online.

They are the best slugs I have found in a mossberg 500 gun. and the lightest shooting of the one ounce slugs, plus they hold their shape the best when hitting a hard target and get real wide, but the downside is that they dont go as far due to the wider shape but they will put an animal down real fast

[314299]

@manga12 No doubt they are much easier to source in the USA, however up here in Canada they are much harder to get. Thanks for the tips on where to look that information should be of use to the folks in the USA.

Oh I did not know you were from the north, but all in all try the internet, its your best bet, like ammo to go, or email the brenneke usa website for distributers of the ammo I did and found several. But yea the max penetration will go through lots of stuff, even body armor, but then again at 25 yards really any hardcast slug from dangerous game will do the same thing, or even a rifle round that can take down a thick skin animal like cape buffalo or bear, I know in canada they have bear.

[twogun1969]

you know how I love slugs!!!!!

[314299]

@twogun1969 You've fired one or two - have you ever shot any of the Brenneke?

[twogun1969]

hey.... loved the vid as usual...just save 'em for the just in case times....

[314299]

@twogun1969 They'll probably still be in the drawer twenty years from now.

[camerl2009]

man id love to find one to copy them

[314299]

@camerl2009 You would like to make your own copy?

[camerl2009]

@314299 JB weld mold :P 

[314299]

@camerl2009 Interesting concept - would the JB cope with the heat well? Silicone might work as well as a mold material.

[camerl2009]

@314299 yes ive ued it to make sinker molds before i but i could use some of my old tackle making gear to make up a mold out of some RTV silicone

[314299]

@camerl2009 How many uses can you get out of that sort of mold?

[camerl2009]

@314299 the rtv ive not wore one out yet for my lures that have lead in the core

i just wish i cloud find some of there loaded ammo here thay would be great for moose

[cplbullet]

[314299]

@cplbullet Glad you liked it, I have lots of old reloading gear so there may be more videos of a similar theme.

[ovey99]

thanks again

[314299]

@ovey99 You are welcome.

@An0nEeMouse Rifled slugs are under-bored and are safe to shoot in cylinder bore (no choke) through full choke. As far as I can tell, it was a design and standardization consideration by ammunition manufacturers.

[314299]

@DollreeMappEsq Most standard full bore slugs use the same design of ribs, but I think the Brenneke are larger diameter than most.

[Gungeek]

Very cool :)

[314299]

@Gungeek Be nice to have a bunch more, enough to shoot!

[Mrcaffinebean]

Trade you slugs for a haircut! Sweet looking round, I never knew that the ribs didn't cause spinning. I guess you learn something everyday!

[314299]

@Mrcaffinebean The guy I got these from used to load shells in his barber shop when there were no customers around!

[An0nEeMouse]

Could you explain how the ribs make the slug safe to be shot through a choke?

[314299]

@An0nEeMouse The ribs will deform or squash down if they are fired in a tightly bored barrel or through a choke. If the slug were just a solid large diameter there would be many times more material displaced if fired in the same tight bore or choke, that condition would cause pressures to spike and could even cause a choked barrel to crack.

[FinJaska]

Get aa-12 and make a video =P

[314299]

@FinJaska That would be difficult since I don't think they have ever been sold to civilians...

[FinJaska]

@314299 I know =)
