The Brenneke Orange Lightning 12 gauge slug delivers exceptional accuracy and knockdown power for hunters demanding precision performance. This 2.75-inch shell features a 2/3 ounce lead slug engineered for consistent terminal ballistics and reliable expansion on target.
What Makes This Different
Brennneke's Orange Lightning slug incorporates a unique felt wad system that maintains slug stability throughout flight, producing tighter groups than traditional foster-style slugs. The ribbed slug design reduces barrel friction while the attached wad prevents separation, ensuring consistent point of impact. Independent testing shows 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards from rifled barrels, significantly outperforming standard slugs.
