Brenneke SuperSabot 12 GA Slug – Accurate 2-3/4 in 1-1/8 oz Lead-Free Sabot, 1407 fps, 5 Rounds

Description

The Brenneke SuperSabot 12 GA Slug was one of the first lead-free shotgun projectiles on the market, introduced by Brenneke more than two decades ago, long before non-toxic ammunition became common. The 2-3/4 inch load sends a 1-1/8 oz (490 grain) projectile at a rated 1407 feet per second, producing roughly 2157 foot-pounds of energy. Its construction combines an aluminum point with a brass jacket and brass core inside a sabot that opens as it leaves the barrel. Brenneke rates its accuracy as rivaling many centerfire rifles past 100 yards.

Brenneke SuperSabot 12 GA Slug Performance

Rated muzzle velocity of 1407 fps

About 2157 ft-lbs of muzzle energy

Accuracy Brenneke compares to many centerfire rifles at over 100 yards

Controlled expansion based on target resistance

Let the barrel cool between strings of shots so heat does not shift your groups, and fire a fouling shot after cleaning before you check your zero. Note where the projectile prints at each distance so you know your hold when a deer steps out at an unexpected range.

A brass sabot slug behaves differently from a soft lead slug. Brass is harder and lighter for its size, so the projectile is longer and holds together as it drives through hide, muscle and bone, while the aluminum point starts expansion. The result is deep penetration paired with a wide wound channel, which is what you want on a large-bodied deer or a heavy hog.

For hunters who share land with livestock, or who simply prefer to keep lead out of the field, this design offers a proven alternative that still carries plenty of power. Check your local regulations, since some areas now require non-toxic projectiles for certain seasons.

A Non Toxic Deer Slug for Rifled Guns

More hunters are choosing lead-free projectiles, whether because of local regulations, land-owner rules or personal preference. The SuperSabot gives them a non toxic deer slug that does not trade away power. Its brass construction holds together for deep penetration while the point expands to create a wide wound channel.

Because it is a true rifled barrel sabot, it needs a fully rifled barrel to spin and stabilize. Brenneke notes that if a smooth barrel is used, chokes must be removed, but best accuracy comes from rifling. Brenneke has made slugs in Germany since 1898 and was among the first to bring a lead-free slug to hunters.

Deer and hog hunters who shoot a 12 gauge with a rifled barrel and want a lead-free option 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 sabots can print differently than 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.
