The Brenneke Classic 16 Gauge 2-1/2in Slug (part no. SL-162BR) loads Brenneke’s original Classic slug design, a lead-point slug pattern that has stayed in production for decades because it simply works. It shoots accurately from both rifled and smoothbore barrels, and includes Brenneke’s H-type disk, which the company credits with improving accuracy by up to 50 percent over a plain slug. Ribs on the slug’s body are angled to the right to ease passage through a shotgun’s choke, and a patented rear section slides forward into the point on impact to aid expansion. For 16-gauge deer hunters, it remains one of the most established slug options on the market.
