Brenneke Mini Slug 12 Gauge 1.75″ Sabot Slug 10 Rounds

Description

Short 1.75-inch shotgun loads have earned their place in the lineup for a reason. Brenneke's Mini Slug packs all the qualities that make German slug engineering reliable and effective into a package that lets you carry more rounds and shoot with less punishment.

What sets the Mini Slug apart is its use of Brenneke's signature Classic slug design. That solid lead construction with fins attached to the outside provides stability in flight without spinning, and the attached wad stays with the projectile to help maintain that stability. It's the same engineering that's been proven over generations, just in a shorter shell. You get a 1-ounce projectile moving at 1,334 feet per second with 1,555 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. For close-range work and home protection, that's plenty of power concentrated in a single solid projectile.

Where the Mini Slug Makes Sense

The real win here is practicality. A standard pump shotgun that holds four rounds of full-length ammo can hold six or seven of these. That's a significant capacity bump without changing guns. The shorter shell also produces noticeably less recoil than full-power loads, which means faster, more accurate follow-up shots from most people. Recoil management matters when you need it most. These rounds are commonly loaded in Mossberg and Remington pump guns, though you should check your specific shotgun to make sure it handles them reliably.

A Note on Design and Application

Breneke slugs are engineered to deliver penetration without excessive over-penetration. The solid slug punches through what needs punching while delivering all its power at the target. The Classic design works in both smoothbore and rifled barrels, making these versatile across different shotgun platforms. One thing to know: these may not cycle reliably in semi-automatic shotguns due to the lighter recoil impulse they generate, so if you're running an auto-loader, you'll want to test first or stick with full-length shells.
