Brenneke Slugs

[ASH556]

I have some Federal 127DP's still, but was looking at picking up some Brennekes. Doc's ammo article is 6 years old at this point. Is the Home Defense still the one to get? Here are my options:

I like the Brenneke Home Defense slugs a lot. Surprisingly easy to shoot, very accurate - at least to about 30 yards, which is as far back as I could go where I shoot outdoors - and they leave a cool pattern in the paper.

I've opted for keeping Federal Flight Control 00 buck in my 590 for home defense use, but the Brenneke is good stuff.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

The 1 oz Brenneke THD remains a good load: http://www.brennekeusa.com/law-enfor...l-home-defense

The KO is also an option: http://www.brennekeusa.com/hunting-ammunition/kotm

I have been using the 1 1/8 ounce 2.75 Classic Magnum slugs for the last twenty years. Last I looked, this is the same slug carried by the AK Troopers wildlife officers.

Any known issues with the THD running a Benelli (since it’s low recoil)?

The 1 1/8 ounce 2.75" Classic Magnum slugs are a great wilderness load and offer superb penetration.

George these? http://www.brennekeusa.com/hunting-a...ssic-magnumtm/
They seem flat shooting compared to Winchester 2.75" ounce Forster. I'm getting 4"at 50yards with the M4 and Winchester combo.
I hope the classic magnum will tighten up my groups.

Yes, that is the Brenneke slug I use. I zero at 25 yards, which puts them a bit higher 50, and back on at 75 yards. The Winchester 2.75 Foster slugs shoot close enough at 25 yards to the Brenneke slugs, that I find them useful for practice. Recoil feels about the same as well.
