Not sure what I would do with such a thing, but I want. I could probably see something of a car-trip long arm loaded with these.
This afternoon, my wife shot her 20 gauge, youth model 870. She prefers the smaller youth model, even though it kicks more than a heavier shotgun, because it is light enough she can hold it with one hand doing manipulations. It is a tricked out little shotgun, cut down and set up by Jim Brockman with aperture sights.
She loads it with Brenneke Classic Magnum, one ounce, three inch slugs. Comparing them to my 1 1/8 ounce 12 gauge Classic Magnum slugs, I wonder if the 20 gauge slugs have better sectional density. In any event, I think either the 12 or 20 Brenneke slugs would do an equal job getting through a bear's skull.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
NJI purchased some of these maximum barrier slugs and have put them through a railroad tie. It blew through no problem. Winchester 1 oz slugs only made it about 4-5 inches. It also went straight through the disc of a g35. Which is a pretty beefy piece of steel.
In brenneke's advertising they show the maximum barrier being able to defeat a level 3a vest at 8 yards or closer.
I have a lot of the special forces short magnum, and about 25 of the maximum barrier left these will only be shot in a life or death situation in the future. They are not any fun to shoot. If anyone has the ability to do some good barrier test's and post a video I would send them some of the short magnums and maximum penetration slugs.
This interests me a great deal.
I've also been looking at trying some of these lately; http://ddupleks.com/index.php/en/127...onolit-32.html
Anyone want to comment on this from my earlier post:

Would a 20 gauge Brenneke have better sectional density than the 12 gauge slug, and thus penetrate better than a 12 gauge Brenneke slug? If so, you could carry around a lighter in weight, less recoiling shotgun in bear country.
