slugs for BIG game

All about accuracy. Inside 150, everything short of big bears will drop quick. I’ve watched a bunch of videos on the Brenneke slugs. I have yet to see any that were accurate. Smooth bore with a foster slug or rifled slug beats them every time. It’s funny how everyone is crazed with a bigger, faster, cooler whatnot and none outperform just an old fashioned round nosed hunk of lead. Inside 25, those fancy solid copper slugs are unstable and rip through just about anything. Then again, never heard a bear to wear class 3 body armor with a plate carrier. If you drop a 1 1/2 Oz slug through the ribs of anything, it’s gonna die. So after much use in close over the years I would just say that any offering that is accurate is more the. Adequate for anything in the 50 states including bruins In close.

All about tolerances with them. The copper solids like the Brenneke are a tad smaller then bore as they can be fired through a choked barrel and are designed for fully rifled “ tight” barrels. As with everything rifled, all about tolerances.

Yea, the park service uses the Black Maagic as a DEFENSE load.  these are at short distance where accuracy doesn't matter.  But I was thinking of them as a possible hunting load?
