Brenneke 12 Gauge Slugs Black Magics and Magnum Crush

[Paparock94]

The two heaviest hitting 12 gauge slugs Brenneke makes are the:

1. Black Magic Magnum 3", weight 602 grains, 1502 FPS and 3014 ft lbs at the muzzle.
2. Magnum Crush 3", weight 666 grains, 1604 FPS and 3804 ft. lbs at the muzzle.

Both are devasitating rounds.

I work in AK for the Federal government. Black Magics are what we are issued for our 870s for bear protection for field work. I have great faith in them.

I no longer live around grizzly, as I once did. The worse thing I could run into now is a Black Bear. When I lived and scouted for Mule deer and Elk in the off season in Wyoming south of Yellowstone I carried a .44 Magnum 51/2" Ruger Redhawk loaded with Randy Garrett 330 grain Hammerheads. I also did a lot of praying for my safety. Being young and stupid back then I spent way to much time out there by myself. I spent some time talking to author James Gary Shelton due to a friend's death due to bear attack and read all of his excellent books on bear attacks and bear attack survival. I can not recommend his works highly enough!!! He is a gentleman and a true scholar in every respect!

The black magics sure work well on whitetail deer. Minimal meat damage and pokes a 1” hole through organs.

I just got a batch of the Magnum Crush (paid to much!) for the Benelli Slug Gun...I would to try on my 3rd Brownie or Moose one day..or a Wyoming Bison?
I have custom slugs by Greg Sappington that "crushed" the completion at the Linebaugh Seminar years back...880s and 1043s hard cast at 1440fps and 1080fps....
Now thats real Horspower!!
Another SERIOUS load is the Tri Ball 3" Magnums...3)600 grain 60caliber hardcast balls that will group less than 8" at 40 yds when choked properly
