Brenneke 12 Gauge Shotgun Component Slugs

A bit of "show and tell" with a box of old Brenneke shotgun slugs sold years ago so you could reload your own shotgun slugs. The Brenneke slug was developed by Wilhelm Brenneke in 1898. The defining characteristic of this slug is the wad which remains attached to the slug after firing, this wad serves as a gas seal and as a form of drag stabilization.

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.

@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.

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

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

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

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

@314299 JB weld mold :P
