Description
The Brenneke TOPAS Lead Free Sabot 20 GA brings the performance of one of Brenneke’s most popular 12 gauge sabots to 20 gauge shooters. The projectile is made from food-safe tin, so it is completely lead-free and non-toxic while keeping the price reasonable. This 2-3/4 inch load sends a 1/2 oz (200 grain) slug at a very fast rated 1903 feet per second, producing roughly 1608 foot-pounds of energy. That speed gives the lighter projectile a flat trajectory and strong energy for deer at typical shotgun distances.

Lead Free Deer Ammo for the 20 Gauge
More hunters are choosing lead-free projectiles, whether because of local rules, land-owner requirements or a preference for keeping lead out of the game they eat. A tin sabot slug meets those needs without the high price often attached to non-toxic ammunition. Tin is soft enough to behave well on game while remaining completely lead-free.
The 20 gauge is a favorite for younger hunters and anyone who wants a lighter gun with less recoil. Pairing it with this fast, flat-shooting load lets those hunters take ethical shots with a projectile that keeps its energy across the field.
Deer hunters who shoot a 20 gauge with a rifled barrel and want a non toxic 20 gauge slug will get the most from this load. Sight in with the same lot you plan to hunt with and confirm point of impact at 50 and 100 yards, since a fast, light sabot can print differently than heavier lead slugs. Follow all federal, state and local hunting regulations when using this ammunition.
Store these shells in a cool, dry place in the original box so the lot number stays with the ammunition, and keep slugs separate from birdshot in your pack so there is no mix-up in the field.
A scope on a rifled slug gun lets you take full advantage of this load’s accuracy, and a steady rest at the range shows what your barrel can really do. Clean the bore between range sessions, since plastic fouling from sabots can open up groups. Let the barrel cool between strings of shots so heat does not shift your point of impact.
Brenneke has made slugs in Germany since 1898 and was among the first companies to offer lead-free slugs to hunters. The TOPAS line continues that work with a design that balances performance, price and environmental responsibility.
