Brenneke TKO 12 GA Non-Toxic Sabot Slug – Powerful 2001 fps Tin Deer Slug, 2-3/4 in, 5 Rounds

Description

The Brenneke TKO 12 GA Non-Toxic Sabot Slug replaces lead with food-safe, non-toxic tin. Brenneke rates this 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge load at 2,001 fps with 2,607 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 293 grain (2/3 oz) slug, giving deer hunters a lead-free option with a flat trajectory. Each box holds 5 rounds.

What Makes the Brenneke TKO 12 GA Non-Toxic Sabot Slug Different

A tin shotgun slug is unusual. Brenneke chose tin because it is non-toxic and food-safe, which makes this an appealing lead-free deer slug for hunters in lead-restricted areas and for anyone who wants to keep lead out of venison.

Brenneke states the TKO performs in both smoothbore and rifled barrels with any choke. Ribs on the tin point angle to the right to help the slug pass smoothly through chokes, and a patented rear section slides into the point on impact.

With over 2,000 fps at the muzzle, Brenneke describes the TKO as a flat shooting slug to 100 yards and beyond, which simplifies holdover compared with slower slugs.

Hunting With the Brenneke TKO 12 GA Non-Toxic Sabot Slug

Every shotgun shoots slugs a little differently. Sight in your shotgun with the TKO before the season, and confirm point of impact at the distances you expect to shoot.

Velocity this high means stout recoil. A good recoil pad and proper shooting position help, particularly in lightweight pump guns.

Always check your state regulations for deer hunting with shotgun slugs, including any rules on non-toxic shot or slug types. Some areas and wildlife refuges require non-toxic ammunition, and this load is designed to meet that need.

Shot placement matters more than raw energy on deer. Aim for the heart and lung area behind the front shoulder, and take shots only at distances where you can consistently hit a paper plate from a field position. A fast slug flattens trajectory but does not make up for rushed shots or poor rests.

Who Should Choose This Load

Deer hunters who need or prefer non-toxic ammunition, or who want a fast, flat shooting slug for smoothbore or rifled guns, will find this Brenneke load well worth trying.

Specialty non-toxic slugs cost more per round than standard lead slugs, so many hunters practice with less expensive slugs and confirm zero with a few rounds of TKO.

Store ammunition in a cool, dry place and keep slugs separate from birdshot in your hunting pack to avoid loading the wrong shell.

Practice from field positions like shooting sticks or a tree rest, since most deer shots with slugs are taken off-hand or from a quick rest.

Who it is for: 12 gauge deer hunters who want a fast, lead-free tin slug. Follow all federal, state and local hunting regulations when using this ammunition.
