Brenneke 12 Gauge Shotgun Component Slugs 

I hunted NJ deer since I was legal - 56 yrs ago. Brenneke's were the best and still are!

@@jdhreiss , can't beat them slugs .. I bought a house in NC and can now buy ammo in gas stations and hunt with an AR or what ever I want with a can .. be well ..

They certainly have a good reputation.

Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment.

Cool, I expect they would work just as well as new stuff.

Thanks, glad to hear this video is still getting some views even after four years.

Yes, it's a good deal bigger than the slug, and the bore.

Technically any rotation of the slug will count as spin, however I was not referring to incidental levels of spin but significant levels of spin that would induce gyroscopic stability in the projectile. Any spin that shotgun slugs attain is the result of microscopic imperfections in the barrel caused by the barrel finishing process, it is not caused by the "rifling" on the slugs. Yes, even completely smooth sided slugs will spin a little. The misconception is that the rifling works like the fetching on an arrow, however the dynamics are not the same, every slug load I am aware of is supersonic, and the "rifling" on them sits in a pocket of air behind the shock wave and essentially has no air moving over them, as a result they cannot contribute in a meaningful way to projectile rotation.

I think they would be more popular except for the rather high price compared to the common Foster type slug. They certainly out penetrate the Foster slug and are favored by many for bears.

Yeah they are a bit more expensive but I can't put a price on actually hitting your target. Plus the SF slugs and black magic are spectacular if you can find them.

In 2012 when the video was done all these powders were available. Sadly it appears that most of them have been recently discontinued, except for Herco.

Yeah, Herco is still around. I bought 9 lbs of 4756 old stock last summer at my gun range.

No, rifling on a shotgun slug cannot cause not cause rotation as there is no mechanical lock between the lead and the smooth barrel, the only force acting on the slug is the powder gas pushing it ahead. In a rifled barrel the bullet is physically captured by the rifling , the bullet is locked into the groves and the spiral of the lands and grooves converts the forward motion into rotation. Any spin of a "rifled" slug coming out of a smooth bore is caused by honing marks in the bore and is just as likely to spin the slug in a direction opposite to the groves on the slug.

PEET SAYUMPOO Any part attached to the slug should be counted towards the slugs weight. The weights of slugs are, however, a bit approximate. Rarely will a 1 oz slug weigh exactly 473.5 grains, and the difference in weight can be more than the attached tail/wad.

314299 Shooting Channel Your answer helps a lot, Thank you for your answer, sir sorry for my english again, I'm from Thailand.

PEET SAYUMPOO You are welcome.

Yes, they do rotate a little, but they dont rotate fast enough to give sufficient gyroscopic rotation to ensure stability and accuracy. The rotation these slugs attain is not as a result of the ridges or "rifling" on the surface of the slug - even smooth "unrifled" slugs will rotate when fired from a smooth barrel. Rotation of this sort of projectile is caused by fine rotary honing marks on the surface of the barrel. Perhaps those smooth sided slugs "self identify as rifled"?

Chris potts.i think they are not selling them anymore beacuse they are quite old

there is newer versions of them my local gun stores don't carry them, cheaperthandirt.com wont ship them to me

Ok

These can be loaded in either 2-3/4" of 3" hulls.
