etpiejr 4 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) First time I have seen these advertised anywhere, has any one tried them? How do you think they would shoot in a smoothbore? http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/pro...roducts_id/3089 Edited June 28, 2009 by NECESSARY EVIL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gkcf 8 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 They're probably made for a smoothbore. They look just like the Black Magic short magnums I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gkcf 8 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have a box of Black Magic short magnums and full magnums. Honestly, at around $2 a round and the fact that the powder charge seems to be about twice that of 00 buck, I'm a bit hesitant to shoot them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Any feed issues with these in S12 mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tover26 18 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 We should route these over to the Box o' Truth guy and see if they go through the Buick's engine. They have an article about shooting car engines here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aresv 49 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Brenneke slugs are meant to be shot through smoothbores. The Special Forces Short Mag is the same thing as the Green Lightning. Both are 1.25 ounces at 1476 fps. Black Magic Short Mags are lighter at 1 ounce, and cook a little faster. The color you see in the picture of the slug is actually paint. It coats the lead to lubricate it and prevent fouling in the barrel. If you haven't tried Brennekes, get some cheaper K.O.'s and try them out. Brenneke slugs are solid hard cast lead with a sharp wadcutter shoulder, and a plastic wad/sabot thing attached to the rear for stability. Foster slugs, on the other hand, are hollowed out pieces of soft lead with a round nose. In my experience, Brennekes group tighter and have WAY better terminal ballistics than Fosters. From left to right, a copper sabot (for rifled shotguns only), a Brenneke slug, and a Foster slug. Edited June 29, 2009 by aresv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aresv 49 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Any feed issues with these in S12 mags? Nothing magazine-specific, but if your gun has trouble feeding roll crimped shells you may have problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 If its lead its probably similar to a slug cast from wheel weight lead maybe with some antimony IIRC added to make it harder. I know from my own messing around that a wheel weight slug will not mushroom like a soft lead slug and can penetrate through a lot more . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigcec1 72 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have shot alot of the brenneke ammo and they work great in smooth bore I have not tryed the special forces though. Used alot of the K.O and Green good stuff no problems with feeding that I have had Quote Link to post Share on other sites
