I have not tried the brennekes yet. Last year with some Ohio hunting was my first foray into slug hunting, but I have never heard much bad about those slugs.
You hear a lot of good and bad reviews about a lot of different brands but the brennekes seem to please most folks. I hope they do good for you.

Brennekes are great and are my preferred slugs for my smoothbores. I have not shot the K.O.'s and some have posted there groups were not as small as they had hoped for but they are easily "minute of deer" out to 50-75 yards and if you get them in the heart lung area the deer just don't move any more. I think you will like them. I have had my best luck using a modified choke tube....<><....:)

These are the slugs of choice for my smooth bore 870 special purpose. I tested all of the slugs available at the time, (1997), and the Brenneke's held the best 100 yd pattern. I use an extended, rifled screw in choke tube. To date, I have killed 3 deer and one black bear with the 870/Brenneke duo.

By the way, $2.60 a box is a very good price for Brenneke slugs....<....:)

What do you think about using Brenneke slugs in my full choke 20 ga.? Haven't tried any yet but I thought I might to see how it patterns. If it patterns good, what would be the effective range for deer? thanks.

you will never know how accurately a particular gun will will shoot or pattern with a specific ammo unless you try it. They will not hurt your full choke gun at all. I highly suggest using 2 3/4" instead of the 3" shells. The are just as effective for deer and they always seem to shoot better, for me anyway. I think the the effective range of a Brenneke in a 20 gauge, if the aim is true to the mark, would be somewhere around 100 to 120 yards. You should only shoot out to the maximum range you are SURE you can hit the vitals. Keep all your shots within your personal effective range and you will be A-OK....<><....:)

I thought that the Brenneke slugs were designed for use with NO rifling either in bore or tube.
If so what choke works best?  Or should I get a rifiled choke tube?
What kind of groups could be expected?

Thank you

I have not tried the Brenneke yet but plan to in 20 ga. full choke, and I have some plain foster slugs which I will compare them to. Hopefully sometime next week...so many things and so little time for me in Sept-Oct.

I tried the brenneke kos in my benelli 12 ga nova(fully rifled barrel). They didn't shoot very good and I stuck with the Buckhammers.  But have used rottweil brenneke slugs in my winchester 16 ga. with a smooth bore(cyl.choke) with good results.  I'd say they are better out of a smooth bore.

The Rottweil Brennekes (my preferred) and the Brenneke KO's are regrettably not the same.
I much prefer the Rottweil Brennekes for accuracy out of my smoothbores but do not believe
they are being sold anymore since Brenneke America took over....<><....:(

I couldn't get my new 11-87 to group very well no matter what slug I tried, but I had some rottweil berneke rifled slugs left over from my smoothbore and tried them and clover leafed at 50 yards.

Got a NEF Ultra 12 ga rifled barreled slug gun and I can report that the slugs will not shoot in the gun, this gun does not like the KO slugs. Shoots a shotgun sized pattern and unable to zero scope with them...dont shoot them in a rifled barrel...JimP.

My rifled barrel shoots the rottweil berneke really well, never tried the ko slugs, guess all guns are different.

I'd be very interested to see how they shoot out of my new TAMER-if they will put them in a 6'' circle at 75 yards-thats plenty good enough for me-

I just bought a couple boxes of 16 ga Rottweil Brennekes from a local place called the Gun Broker.  When I asked, they said their supplier has them.  Might have to go back and buy 10 or 15 boxes in case they run out.
