Brenneke Orange Lightning 12 GA Slug 125th Anniversary – Powerful 2-3/4 in 1 oz Deer Slug, 1560 fps, 5 Rounds

Description

The Brenneke Orange Lightning 12 GA Slug has long been the value pick in the Brenneke lineup, and this 125th Anniversary edition celebrates the company’s long history of slug making. The load uses a standard 2-3/4 inch shell and a full 1 oz solid lead slug that leaves the barrel at a rated 1560 feet per second with roughly 2375 foot-pounds of energy. Brenneke designed Orange Lightning as an all-around deer load with plenty of energy and strong accuracy, and it shoots equally well in smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels.

Fits any 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber

Brenneke Orange Lightning 12 GA Slug Performance

Rated muzzle velocity of 1560 fps

About 2375 ft-lbs of muzzle energy

Brenneke reports five-shot groups under 2-1/2 inches at 50 yards for Orange Lightning

Consistent performance from round to round

If you are new to hunting with slugs, start at 25 yards to confirm the gun is on paper before moving back to 50 and 75. Let the barrel cool between strings of shots so heat does not shift your groups, and note where the slug prints so you know your hold when a deer steps out.

For collectors and longtime Brenneke fans, a 125th anniversary slug is also a nice piece of shooting history to keep on the shelf, though it is loaded to be used in the field. The special box marks the milestone while the round inside delivers the same dependable Orange Lightning performance hunters already know.

A Budget Shotgun Slug That Does Not Cut Corners

Orange Lightning was created for hunters who want to shoot a lot without paying premium prices for every round. Brenneke did not cut corners on performance; the savings come from a simpler package, not a weaker slug. That makes it easy to spend real time at the range learning your gun, which usually matters more in the field than small differences between loads.

This anniversary edition marks 125 years of Brenneke slug making. Wilhelm Brenneke introduced his original slug design in 1898, and the basic idea of a heavy lead slug with an attached wad has proven itself on game around the world ever since.

Deer and hog hunters who carry a 12 gauge pump, semi-auto or single-shot will get plenty from this load, especially in shotgun-only zones. It works well as a smoothbore deer load for hunters who do not own a rifled barrel. Sight in with the same lot you plan to hunt with and confirm point of impact before the season. 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.

Shot placement still matters more than raw power. A set of rifle-style sights or a low-power optic makes precise aiming far easier than a bead, and a steady rest at the range shows what your barrel and this load can really do. Clean the bore between range sessions for the most consistent results.
