Description

The Brenneke 12 GA Mini Slug 1 oz Home Protection load packs a full 1 ounce (395 grain) slug into a short 12 gauge shell. Brenneke rates it at 1,334 fps with 1,555 ft-lbs of energy, and designed it for shooters who want less recoil, faster follow-up shots and greater magazine capacity. Each box holds 10 rounds.

Why Choose the Brenneke 12 GA Mini Slug 1 oz

Short shotgun shells have become popular because they recoil less, cost less and let many pump shotguns hold more rounds in the magazine tube. Brenneke says all of those traits make its Mini Slug ideal for home protection.

The slug uses Brenneke classic design, the solid lead slug with an attached wad that has been refined for more than a century. Brenneke states the Mini Slug will not produce excessive penetration while delivering its energy to the target.

Compared with a full-length magnum slug, a low recoil 12 gauge slug like this is easier to control, which helps shooters of all sizes make accurate follow-up shots.

Important Notes Before Using the Brenneke 12 GA Mini Slug 1 oz

Brenneke notes that the Mini Slug may not cycle properly in some semi-automatic shotguns. Short shells can also cause feeding issues in some pump guns unless an adapter is installed, while others, such as certain Mossberg models, are designed to feed them. Test function thoroughly in your shotgun.

As a home protection slug, it still penetrates far more than birdshot. Understand what is beyond your target, including interior walls and neighboring homes, and consider the layout of your home when choosing ammunition.

Pattern and aim differently than with buckshot: a slug requires precise aim, even at indoor distances. Practice with your shotgun and confirm point of impact.

A defensive shotgun should be set up and tested as a system. Confirm the shotgun feeds these short shells from the magazine tube, check that the sights or optic are zeroed for slugs, and practice loading and unloading until it becomes second nature. A weapon light is also worth considering for home defense so you can positively identify any target.

Who Should Choose This Load

Home defenders who want a slug with less recoil and more capacity, and shooters with pump shotguns designed to feed short shells, will find this Brenneke load a practical option.

Short shells are not universal. If your shotgun does not feed them reliably, choose a standard 2-3/4 inch load such as the Brenneke Classic slug in full length.

Browse the MAG5 Firearms ammunition selection for more shotgun loads, and see Brenneke USA for product details.

Store defensive shells in a cool, dry place and rotate the rounds kept in your shotgun periodically.

Take a defensive shotgun class if possible; learning to load, unload and manipulate a pump under stress makes the biggest difference in real use.

Who it is for: 12 gauge owners seeking a low recoil, high capacity slug for home protection. Follow all federal, state and local laws when purchasing and transporting this ammunition.
