Brenneke Black Magic - Look what they did

[dougk]

I was sighting in my 12/9.3x74r combo gun using the cedar to hold the target.





looks like I dont need a chain saw... 

Here are the slugs

honestly thats impressive, but I would have liked to see them mushroom a bit?  Mike

Mike: Those suckers are somewhere around Cal 75 to start without expansion.

[BIG JAKE]

2 3/4 or 3 inchers

[dougk]

3 inches  I have the 2 3/4 but have not used them yet.

[Huntsman1]

Quite impressive damage..who needs expansion after one of those suckers rips thru your quarry!!

[Cat Whisperer]

That's a TROPHY TREE if I've ever seen one!

Was it in seaon? 

[swiftman]

You can't tell a bullets expansion shooting into a tree , been there done that. Even .45acp gold dots won't expand in something that hard.

[dougk]

Those slugs are very hard.

They're marketed for dangerous game protection. I have them in my 1187 when in grizzly country.  They're pretty accurate tough slugs.

I know that the foster slug will expand readily on impact....which is why it often fails on big hogs.   The expansion reduces penetration and a big and/or dangerous game animal has their vitals deep.    Using a hardcast slug like Brenneke you start with a big hole and end up with a big hole.
