Brenneke 28 Gauge 2.75″ 5/8 oz Slug – 5 Round Box

Description

The Brenneke 28 is one of the few factory slug options designed from the ground up for the 28 gauge. It packs a 273-grain lead projectile moving at 1450 feet per second, generating 1318 foot-pounds of energy, which is surprisingly potent for such a compact load. You're not getting a downscaled 12 gauge here, but rather a purpose-engineered cartridge that maximizes what the 28 can do.

Ribbed Design for Smooth Choke Passage

The key to this slug's reliability is Brenneke's distinctive right-pointing ribs molded into the lead point. These ribs compress slightly as the slug passes through various chokes, allowing it to feed smoothly without excessive pressure on your barrel. This makes the 28 reliable in both fixed and interchangeable choke systems, which is critical for 28 gauge shotguns that often have tighter factory chokes.

Patented Rear Design for Energy Transfer

Breneke's patented rear section slides forward into the projectile's point upon impact, creating a controlled deformation that transfers energy effectively into your target. This isn't just mushrooming. It's a deliberately engineered mechanism designed to expand and create a deep wound channel while maintaining the projectile's integrity.

Manageable Recoil and Real-World Performance

With moderate recoil that won't punish you after a few shots, this load works well for introducing new shooters to slug shooting without creating flinch issues. Real users report excellent accuracy at 30 yards and excellent penetration on small game and hogs. The 1450 fps velocity keeps the trajectory reasonably flat for typical shotgun slug ranges, and the fixed 5-round box makes it easy to keep your gear organized.
