Brenneke Orange Lightning Lead-Free 12 gauge sabot slug ammunition (brand part no. SL122OLN) gives rifled-barrel slug hunters a nontoxic option without asking them to trade away accuracy. Each 2.75-inch shell carries a 2/3-ounce (about 292-grain) slug seated in a plastic sabot sleeve, which sheds away after leaving the muzzle and lets the projectile fly true when fired through a rifled barrel or rifled choke tube. Because the slug itself is lead-free, it meets regulations in areas that require nontoxic ammunition for big-game hunting. This is a single-projectile shell built for a deer stand or a rifled slug gun, not a pattern-based shot load.
