deadeye Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have a friend that shoots driven boar somewhere in France every year. he said the majority there are taken using brenneke slugs. he says they are extremely tough animals though and more than capable of doing you some damage if you dont stop them in their tracks. He says he has seen several people hurt by boar that have been shot and not stopped, and they have just charged straight at the shooter. Apparently they can move at quite a pace, and a big, angry, wounded boar coming at you like a train is a pretty scary experience ! Lee leeboy, i know that brenneke has ben making slugs for quite a while. i get the impression that they have carved out a successful ninche for themselves. how do they differ from other brands in terms of design and performance?

Breastman Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) The normal (Foster) type slugs seem to work best in my gun (Benelli M2) and are almost half the price of the Brenneke slugs so i won't be bothering with those in the future. Also if you're using them for hunting they have the wad-tails which could come off when the slugs enter the animal and potentially be less hygenic. Here's some of my 'handy work' from the weekend. The metal target was shot with Brenneke's and the wooden one with Foster style slugs (S & B ) Mark Edited September 9, 2009 by Breastman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
