BRENNEKE 28 GAUGE SLUGS - TriStar Viper G2

[@buffalosoutdoors]

When I said there are no 3" 28 gauge I was speaking of slugs (and I may be wrong on that but I haven't been able to find any). There are a few companies making 3" 28 gauge birdshot but that's a different topic and of course you'd need one of the few available shotguns chambered for 3" 28 gauge to be able to use it. -- @ 21:06 you can see the actual slug exit the pine board set up and fall out onto the saw horse.

[@UncleDanBand64]

Buffalo's Outdoors shoot I thought I was watching Nutnfancy 👍😂

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL!

[@TheMagnumChannel]

Shootin' with Uncle Dan ...If that was the case he would’ve had to use the word “dude” about 100 more times than he did in this length video! 😂😂

[@randomfox9970]

Buffalo's Outdoors yep but them slugs are fantastic at destroying stuff but only catch you has to be very careful what choke you use unlike Tue foster slug will be safe in most chokes I finds the German slug best accuracy it don't has the plastic was but a short fiber was try them yourself and see they is best 👌💕💪🐺🐾

[@randomfox9970]

@joe8075 interesting but be careful you don't burst your barrel greetings from UK England Essex near London😉💪🐾🐺👌

[@taofledermaus]

I'm surprised anyone offers a slug in 28ga. Hopefully this will encourage other companies to follow their lead -start selling other brands in 28, and also sell more 28ga shotguns. Thanks for the kind words too! I took a double-take seeing the shirt! lol

[@buffalosoutdoors]

There's not much demand for them but I think there could be as it is a useful round much more powerful than a .410 but much less recoil than a 20 gauge. You deserve all the praise I can throw at your channel and more. I know how hard you have to work to produce content of that quality on a regular basis. I'm just a part time one a week video producer and it sometimes takes every minute of free time I have to put something worthwhile together. I love the shirt, O.G. sent it to me!

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

TAOFLEDERMAUS Same here. I was busy looking at that beautiful shotgun and noticed the shirt about halfway through the video 😲. 🇺🇸😎

[@OGsDangerShow]

I was busy looking at that beautiful shirt when I noticed you were talking about slugs! Glad it fits! Thanks for the cross-promotion to Jeff’s channel! -OG. 😎👍

[@buffalosoutdoors]

You're welcome, I am very appreciative of my friends out on the left coast!

[@billyharrison2625]

Am so glad you showed this in 28ga this channel rocks!!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks!

[@cuttheknot4781]

Buffalo is one of the best (if not THE Best) free-handed marksmen on KZbin, no doubt.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Wow thanks! I really appreciate you saying that because there are a lot of really good shooters here. :)

[@freedomfirst5420]

He was born with a shotgun in his hands.😅

[@garytrainer748]

Agreed.

[@Dsdcain]

Great video, and great shooting. For a second there I thought I was watching a southern accented Paul Harrell video when you did the chrono testing. *:-)* Thanks as always for the really great videos. I know I really appreciate the time you put into them. Thanks again.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! I need a trademark shooting jacket like Paul...LOL Actually I need about a quarter of his knowledge! Thanks for watching I always enjoy your comments!

[@davidvance6367]

Paul Harrell is a good person. Liberals in Commie OREGON TRIED TAKIN HIM DOWN. PAUL CAME OUT ON TOP. MSM won't totally come out with occurance. Death to leftists. Stand with the Federal Republic.

[@R32R38]

You made a good point about 20 gauge slug recoil. I have a NEF single barrel in 20 gauge, a very light firearm. The recoil of a 3" 20 gauge slug out of it is every bit as much as that from a 2.75" 12 gauge slug out of my Maverick 88, and only slightly less than that of a 3" slug out of the Mav.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I've had similar results. My youth model (I prefer the term compact) 20 gauge 870 has some potent recoil with magnum loads comparable to a 12 gauge.

[@richiet6381]

We sure do enjoy and appreciate the time and effort you put in each and every installment ! Thank you kindly, Buffalo!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks so much for that! I appreciate it!

[@wildbill6233]

The little green guy brings back memories. Great video!!!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL! Thanks WIldBill!

[@jmsmaxwell]

My Remington 28 gauge shot gun was acquired in 1956 for Christmas. At that time there was a larger selection of ammunition available including slugs. Today it is difficult to find ammo unless you special order it and even then selection is very limited. But I love my weapon and the memories of it. Looking the worse for wear due to age and usage over numerous years but it still works like new and is fun to shoot.

[@GHEC3]

I bought my youngest son a 28 when he was 12 and now that my shoulder is junk I use it well now I guess I have to buy these slugs it was a well done video and excellent shooting you sold me

[@mbartlett6685]

I don't have a 28 gauge but I really enjoyed the video. You put a lot of thought into it. Thanks!!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for watching and leaving the feedback! Much appreciated.

[@tcafan]

Great video on a unique topic. I was aware of the 28 gauge but had never seen one in action. Keep up the great videos.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@user-SgtArmoroldtanker]

Looks like some really good slugs. That's some good shooting too.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@jims9249]

The "real world shooting" is part of what makes your videos great.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you for that!

[@Pfletch83]

One thing I would like to do is if I pick up one of each of those autoloaders is set them up . maybe have two custom barrels cylinder choke,18.5 inches in length made for them just for slug use with a set of semi-buck horn sights. maybe have a magazine tube extension. Awesome vid as always Buffalo.

[@BoomStickTactical]

Statistics. NNNNOOOOPPEEE. I'll take your word for it. I haven't done statistics in years. Cool shotgun.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL! Thanks for stopping by man!

[@slimfire54]

Great testing on the 28 gauge slugs and good shooting also.Thanks for the video Buffalo.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@angryagain68]

Taught both my daughters how to shoot with a 28 ga. single shot. Great choice to start with. Only down side is ammo cost and limited availability. 28 is WAY more effective than people think, and beats the .410 hands down.

[@cuttheknot4781]

Great video my friend - as always. I for one have approximately 1000 12 gauge slugs in inventory at all times, as I find them to be a devastatingly useful projectile for both entertainment and hunting. In fact, the shotgun would no doubt be my singular firearm if to only own one (and maybe sneak in my 22 LR).

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I have to agree with you. The versatility of the shotgun makes it a great choice for a one gun that can do it all if need be.

[@DubberGuy12]

Another good video Buffalo, thanks. I appreciate you giving the 28 gauge attention.

[@redfaux74]

That's a good video. You definitely made the case for the 28g being effective.

[@TheMagnumChannel]

Ain’t nobody got a bench when the whitetails show up, your style of shooting is better! 👍🏻 Those rocked the jug test, for a minute there I thought you were gonna pour out all the water! Lol. Great video and testing, looks like a nice little round!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Bench rest shooting just turns into work. I enjoy shooting but not when I become tied to a bench chasing smaller and smaller groups. I know some people enjoy that part of it but not me. I do it when I have to, sighting in and such.

[@ibdaffy]

Just came across your channel...liked and subscribed before finishing the video! Very timely, as I am in the process of buying a 28 gauge semi auto. Loved your presentation, the camera work was excellent and you are knowledgeable and personable! I thank you for taking the time and effort to share with us. Now, I have to binge watch the rest of your vids. May I ask what state you are in? The scenery is beautiful! God bless and take the best of care during these changing times.

[@Jesses001]

I just shot these slugs in 12ga out of a rifled barrel at 25 yards a few weeks ago. 10 rounds made an inch and a half group off hand. Slight horseshoe shape group. It was just a, shot for fun day so I was not really trying, so they seem rather accurate at all gauges.

[@Gunsandfun1961]

That spider cameo was awesome. Lol.,, Very informative... The Kentucky mathematics was impressive.. That 3 shot group was also impressive,, The thought and planning added with the multi camera angles and great audio always makes watching your videos very enjoyable. You da man...

[@buffalosoutdoors]

THanks man! I appreciate you stopping by!

[@thetraveler5798]

Good info ! Like the touch with the spider on the box I guess she agrees.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I think she does!

[@MegaBoilermaker]

A well conducted survey Sir.

[@Grodd70]

Cool video test. I am surprised that more manufactures don't make 'defense shotguns" in .28 ga. I love my .28 for a bird gun because the frame is like a .410 light weight , maneuverable and considerably more power than a .410.

[@Indianarmslover]

Very nice video, what is the difference between normal foster slug and brenneke slug.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

The biggest difference I can see is that the Brenneke holds together and doesn't deform or fragment nearly as much! Of course both have advantages and disadvantages.

[@boomerrangerron]

Nice review and video! In our Northern shotgun only states the 20 GA is the smallest allowed for deer hunting! But that TriStar would be a great quail gun

[@lyndseymarieburke1834]

Sweet accuracy I have three 28 gauge shotgun and so light I think I might see if I can get some slugs for it. I think that accuracy is wonderful for Deer hunting here in New Hampshire 😊

[@craighealy6186]

Everyone that tries the 28 gauge loves it. 410 is just not powerful enough to hunt with. A great round for those that want to use their 28 gauge to hunt coyotes or deer. I hope that Brenneke continues to make these and yes they are hard to find. I heard that Challenger in Canada started to make these.

[@scottf.3808]

Nice testing as I am sure it is real tough to find that round due to popularity....Good stuff....

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I had a hard time finding some that's for sure. Most online ammo places list them but don't actually stock them .. apparently.

[@stevekeller8818]

Great stuff buffalo.can't wait to see what's next.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@kenhelmers2603]

Interesting results on the wood boards :) Thanks for sharing this with us :) (P.S. - Jeff, Danny and OG do some fun stuff - totally agree!)

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! I see you watched the entire video! I always wonder who is able to stay with me that long! I appreciate it!

[@craigmiller8902]

Buffalo, Your videos are outstanding! I wish I lived next door to you. Also, I’m going to get a Tristar 28 ga fore my wife. Thanks.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Good stuff and testing my friend

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Buffalo's Outdoors we should do a best bear defense 12ga slug... We can compare different velocities out of our different guns, and different targets...

[@TheMagnumChannel]

Brenneke black magic magnum! Hands down!

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Only if you water proof it

[@TheMagnumChannel]

Alaskan Ballistics ...wouldn’t you have to waterproof any slug if that’s the case? Why do they need to be waterproof?

[@mikestrohbusch5434]

About 30 years ago I had some Remington 28 ga slugs....only have one left

[@johnparrish9215]

I know a guy that takes 54 cal Lee REAL bullets and powder coats them, then attaches them to a base wad with a screw sort of like a modern Brenneke. The net result is a 340 grain slug that he shoots out of his 28 ga. at 1200 fps with accuracy. His 10 year old boy got a nice 8 point with it last year.

[@sweettooth80]

I just got. 28 shot gun. And iv been looking up vids to see if theres more then just bird shot. So this shows that theres no slugs made for them anymore?

[@usmc2511]

As always very informative, thanks!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@larryalexander4833]

i have a friend that speaks highly of these type slugs. I have seen some that are very similar in style for reloading but are still not resonable priced .

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I am going to look at some more of these. I've got way more experience with Foster slugs so it's nice shooting something different and taking a look at the results.

[@jakespeed9419]

So how long has the 28 ga been around for?? Hows it compare to say a 410?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Not dodging your question but that sounds like a great idea for a video.

[@jakespeed9419]

Buffalo's Outdoors that'd be awesome! This vid def sparked my curiosity

[@Dmoonj264]

Hey, Buffalo. I like to channel slot. Can you tell me if brenneke recommends they're slugs to be used in a full choke. My single shot has a fixed choke. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

[@doyouhavegainsonyourphone4507]

28ga is over 100 years old.

[@mikemehaffey9693]

I have looked for these slugs from Brenneke for years now. With, NO LUCK! Someone like, LEE or RCBS needs to come out with a casting mold in .28 ga. That way I could roll my own to my liking.

[@joelstark7081]

Thanks for the video Buffalo, have to admit it those water jugs had it coming!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

They sure did!

[@steventhornborrow2854]

hello great video! challenger ammo of Canada has recently started making 28 gauge slugs, brenneke style 1610 fps they should be a good venison getter!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Cool! I'd like to see more options for the 28.

[@T.A.B.Videos]

Nice job Buff

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@TheMagnumChannel]

If there’s no 3”, I’m out!! Haha, no seriously I love the Brenneke slug line, thanks for finding and testing these, I have seen these online for years but obviously didn’t have a gun or reason to buy them...all around shooting, hilarious!! 😂😂

[@buffalosoutdoors]

LOL! You're not "The Magnum Channel" for nothing!

[@juteint4068]

Super results!

[@garys5540]

Another really good informative vid. Thanks Buffalo...Hey if I can make a suggestion. These comparison vids are really nice. Could you do some on price comparison vs caliber or gauge? It'll be nice to know what is the best ammo per price for accuracy..Thanks again Buff!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for the suggestion! I like the idea of doing more comparison videos.

[@borisbuliak3626]

It seems to me that for self defense the 28 will get the job done, it don't matter how dead one is with a 12, 20 or 28 gauge. Recoil is less, what's not to like? Sadly there are plenty of great cartridges out there snubbed by the masses. I'd love to have a .358 win bolt rifle in 22" bbl, but I can't unless a go custom which is not happening. Then am forced to compromise with either less or more, when exactly what I need is available. The reason I go .358 and not .35 whelen is to keep it in the reloading family of .308 and quite frankly the .35 is just as rare and a bit more than I need. Rant over. Liked and subscribed. Keep theem coming.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the channel. Great comment by the way!

[@borisbuliak3626]

Buffalo's Outdoors just got a benelli nova 12 g tactical. My next shotgun may well b either the tristar g2 viper u reviewed or the similar weatherby. Btw you're a good shot, wish o had more trigger time but don't we all

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Yes, it seems no matter what I never can get enough trigger time. I've had very good experiences with the Viper G2 line and I've heard good things about the Weatherby as well even though I haven't shot it for myself.

[@borisbuliak3626]

Buffalo's Outdoors ill probably go with the viper, looks fairly uncomplicated 4 a semi auto. Other than youtube, whete else r u?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

BitChute, UGETube, Instagram, and Facebook. All the links are in the video description if you want to check any of those out.

[@4gauge10]

Fiocchi is the ONLY mfg.currently making 3"inch shells for the 28 bore. It's bird shot,I know,but making all aware that the 3"inch 28ga.ammo DOES exist. I have in my 1963 gun Digest of the domestic ammo mfg's making foster type slugs for the 28ga..These were 1/2-ounce only by Remington and Federal cartridge. These were very weak compared to the Brenneke 5/8's ounce slugs. (In 1963,28ga.slugs were $4.90 for 5 rounds)

[@sonnygunz9207]

I’d like a 1968 28ga 870 Wingmaster. I missed one the other day. Great video as always.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you.

[@miket6809]

I’ve been trying to find these slugs in 28 online, but have had issues finding somewhere that has them in stock.

[@hillbillyhansforlife2763]

Let's be honest with each other, are you buying the .410 or the 28 if you're only buying one? How reliable has the .410 viper been? Will the Henry .410 single shot ever be available?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

For the record I never trust anyone who starts a conversation with "let's be honest" as if they hadn't been for a really long time LOL. To answer your questions though, I own several .410s and one 28 gauge, the Viper G2 has been 100% and yes the Henry single shot is already available though it can be hard to find.

[@matthaft2048]

Id be really interested in seeing a .50 round ball placed in the shot cup and see how that works as a slug. 🤔 I have an interest in a 28 gauge as I am predominantly an upland hunter, however it would be nice if i could also use it as a slug gun for deer on the cheap

[@mletouutube]

I have the same gun- love it for small game

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Awesome!

[@bcbloc02]

Pretty cool!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@MrWndsfr47]

Glad to see some interest in the 28ga. Now if Henry would chamber the "Axe" in 28. Might be the best reasonable power home defense gun around !

[@bosstube9046]

There's a European ammo manufacturer called trust ammunition that makes 28 gsyge buckshot and I THINK slugs you might want to look into it I haven't been able to find any in from my normal suppliers and they have a 28 gauge magnum that I think is 3 inch

[@AlaskanBallistics]

bosstube that's pretty cool

[@bosstube9046]

[@R32R38]

New York has a 20 gauge minimum for deer hunting with slugs.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

New York-- the state where "nobody needs 10 rounds to kill a deer" but also the state where a 28 gauge isn't enough gun....lol Always check local game laws, thanks for the info!

[@mattgeiger9988]

I'm sorry u live in new York

[@ulflyng]

As usual a fine vid. Thx alot. -Could the decrease in "tilt" of the slug/wad be due to the slug stabelizing more after longer flight? 25->50 yards Since the Tristar is gasoperated, it's not a lot of velocity loss. Surprising amount of power in that little slug and a very nice board rig. It calls for more :) Again thx for a 24min of relaxing info. Thumbs up

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks! I wondered the same thing and after the video I I tried the last few slugs I had through the cylinder bore choke and they hit completely sideways on the target at 50 yards. I would like to have a few more to test out with a modified choke to see if it made a difference.
