I have the same Remington slug gun and have had the same problems with slug performance, Remington corelock was awesome but you can't find them anymore I will try the Breneke

Man I'm so sick of the lead contamination crap. When the democrats give up there disposable AA batteries that cause 5000 times more harm then a bullet in the ground. Then they can come talk to me about my lead ammo.

Very good. Thank you.

Looks good so far. A little more testing will reveal more information. Thank you.

# 1 buck worked better in my full choke

Thank you. Can a guy even safely shoot buckshot out of a 0.710 Extra Full choke? Your results here are not too bad at 40 and better under the 40 mark I would expect.

Brenneke website shows "Five-shot, 2 1/2" groups at 50 yards" for these slugs.

Funny you should test this ammo. I've had some recent experience with this ammo myself. Some areas in California only allow smooth bore shotguns and non-toxic slugs for hunting deer. This is just about the only readily available non-toxic slug that shoots well out of a smooth bore. The problem is, California requires that non-toxic ammo be submitted for testing to be certified "lead-free." These Brennekes are not yet on the California "approved list." I contacted Brenneke online, explained the issue, and provided them to California's link to the submission forms and procedure. I actually got a call back from the Brenneke's US sales manager who said no one had ever brought this "California issue" to their attention, and would work to get them approved. California can take weeks to months, to a year or more, to certify ammo as lead-free. I've been watching their list of approved ammo to see if it gets added. I tested this ammo in Mossberg 500 with a smoothbore Slugster barrel and had decent groups, though the rear sight on my Mossberg was messed up. I've got some pictures in this forum thread comparing the slugs to other Brennekes. www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/19789649/1/hornady-300g-monoflex-sabot-slugs

Id like to see what kind of expansion they have

Interesting test was that. ~300 grains, at ~2000 fps, is sort of like a very light S & W 500 Magnum load. I'm going to try some through a Weatherby Orion s x s, 28" barrels , skeet choked, for a final constriction of .725 - .005 = .720". No optics, of course, just a brass bead, so 50 yard shots, none at 100 yards. The slug is probably Tin and Copper, which is Bronze. It seems to be a bronze monolithic solid, which is a type of construction found in bullets for African heavy rifles, .577 NE and the like. Such a bullet construction will not break apart upon a high-energy impact, Dad always ran bronze monolithic in his double rifles. This Brenneke slug just might be the best option for "long range" shotgunning. It certainly is accurate at even 100 yards, and that's saying something, for a 12 gauge projectile. Thanks again for your work.

On game performance would be the real question...

They make good ammo. I'd be very happy with those groups!

Like you mentioned try em through a smooth bore gun. 👍🏼

First like

I’ve found that 00 & #1 Buck seem to preform better for me out of a modified for coyotes out to 50 yrd. I run a Mossberg 500 28in accu-choke barrel with an extended mod choke. - if I’m using Fed-FC I use an IC choke. I only use a full if I’m shoot 2 3/4 #4 Buck or BB… or shot for upland bird, ducks, grouse, etc.

Mine look just like that I have a factory flush modified choke

The original black box standard velocity 15 pellet copper coated load was 1,000 times better than these high velocity ones and wouldn’t you know, Winchester discontinued them

I've used these in the 3 1/2" version, which is 15 pellets. My patterns were never as good as a more moderate velocity load, like a Federal or Remington 3" 15 pellet load. I've no experience with this Winchester XX 3" load, but the 3 1/2" load is a shoulder bruiser.

my earlier comment was deleted by youtube but needless to say this load used domestically would be effectuive

Naw, Im mad at how they performed. If you gonna hype on velocity, its gotta get there or close. And an aftermarket choke that doesn't wow ya , over a stock choke 😞

If that is all the better that rifle shoots, it wouldn't be allowed to set in my safe. Just my opinion

Your justified in expecting better because you spend good money on an aftermarket choke. You expect more for your money.

I'd like to see that through a .690 constriction, but ain't got the nerve to do it with my gun, any of them. .690 is exactly what I get out of the .725 bore on the Weatherby Orion s x s, running the full choke, which is a Yildiz Pro, extended, with 1-1/4 inches of parallel. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

they are 71 cent a round now on berelli

Wow

Gahlee, thats impressive as hell. I have an old mossberg 500 with a 24 inch ported vent rib barrel, think this would be awesome to hunt with. By the way do you think you could ever test a gun like what i just talked about with an xxfull choke? Id be curious to see what a 3 inch #4 buck or turkey load would do through that combo.

The 303 British with the 174 gr bullet in mk 1 no 3 was only to get 3 inch max group ; so your doing good with shots; most 303 like 174gr and above for grouping; If your Barrell be cut shorter to sportize you will get less velocity.

That is not too bad at all. I'm rather impressed. Wit both the ammo and the setup.

Would like to see same set up with indian creek 390

i struggle with getting decent patterns from #4 Buck in many of my hand reloading loads.... however on close range cylinder choke the 4 Buck spread is nice for 2 legged uninvited varmint loads

Hornady's Versatite wad may look like Federal's Flitecontrol wad, but the shells loaded by these two companies do not perform in the same way. Try them in y'all's shotguns - on paper - and see for yourselves.

Considering the barrel length and the choke constriction that’s a C+ B- pattern

That's what I understand as well. However, not the case in my experience with the .700. I've tried probably 10 different loads. Including the federal flight control mentioned.

I went down that rabbit hole a little over a year ago. I reached out to carlson directly. I was informed that I would only get the advertised 70yd distance and pattern i was looking for with hevi shot dead coyote specifically. They did swap out chokes with me. Now I currently run a carlson .700 in my Maverick 88 28". I've tried Winchester 3in varmint x BB at 50yds. Very spotty and major gaps in the pattern. The best results I had so far have been with Winchester 3in long beard XR #5shot at 50yds. It made a pretty even pattern, not as tight as I would like. However, 50yds is a bit of a stretch for a shotgun, I guess.

My understanding is that this wad works better with a more open choke.

Thank you

Thanks for making a great video that I can relate to with my limited budget! Please make more videos!

Always keep in mind not every shotgun likes every load. A different gun with the same choke might do better...or worse.

Flush modified did amazing for me the full threw all over the place for me

I have the same rifle and using same ammunition. It’s amazing how well it groups . One hole groups at 100 yards .

Agree. The older shells don’t have this. I’m not sure why it’s different now but they are. Is one reason I have went to the BB.

3:29 - 3:37 all the Flight Control type shells, from various manufacturers, are designed for cylinder bore barrels/chokes. Picked up the Kick’s X-Full for my 1301. Time to dig out my inventory of run of the mill 00 Buck and try it out.

I just picked up a few boxes of these. I was hoping they would have preformed better. Thanks for testing.

Flite control are made for cylinder bore.

I found out that flite control work better out of a cylinder bore than full choke

Neat. I didn't know they still made that stuff.

That is rather disappointing. I think a couple more shots might be in order. Could be just a fluke of some kind. Thank you for yet another great video.

I bought a moss 500 new in 1984. The manual said never shoot steel with the adjustable choke set tighter than modified.

That's irritating as those federal premium ammo tends to ask a premium price

Thanks for testing. It’s why you test ammo and choke combos. I do think it can do better.
