Description
The Brenneke Red Magic Sabot 12 GA Slug brings the knockdown power Brenneke is known for into a saboted design. For years, Brenneke considered most sabots accurate but too light on penetration and energy. After several years of research, the company adapted its traditional slug shape to sabot technology and arrived at the Red Magic. This 2-3/4 inch load sends a 1 oz (437 grain) projectile at a rated 1584 feet per second with roughly 2407 foot-pounds of energy, and the slug carries about 58 percent more frontal area than a standard .50 caliber sabot slug.

Why Hunters Choose This 12 Gauge Sabot Slug

Fits any 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber
About 58 percent more frontal area than standard .50 caliber slugs

Brenneke Red Magic Sabot 12 GA Slug Performance
Rated muzzle velocity of 1584 fps
About 2407 ft-lbs of muzzle energy
Expansion up to about .9 inch
Tight groups from fully rifled barrels
Let the barrel cool between strings of shots so heat does not shift your groups, and fire a few fouling shots after cleaning before you check your zero. Note where the slug prints at each distance so you know your hold when a deer steps out at an unexpected range.

An Affordable Sabot That Still Hits Hard
Sabot slugs are designed to spin with the rifling, so they reach their best accuracy from a fully rifled barrel or a rifled choke tube. If your slug gun has one, this is a strong choice of rifled barrel deer ammo that does not give up the stopping power of a heavy lead slug. The sabot separates cleanly after leaving the muzzle, letting the projectile fly true across typical deer distances.
Brenneke priced the Red Magic to be easy on the wallet, which means more rounds for practice. Spending time at the bench to learn your point of impact at 50, 75 and 100 yards will pay off when a buck steps into an opening.
Deer hunters who shoot a 12 gauge with a rifled barrel or rifled choke tube will get the most from this sabot deer load, especially in shotgun-only zones. It is not intended to show its best accuracy from a smooth bore. 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 scope or quality rifle-style sights on a slug gun make 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, since plastic fouling from sabots can open up groups.
