Those Brennekke slugs and lightfields are bad to the bone as well.
Ive had a few bad experiences with Brennekke slugs. I will never use them again. I jsut shot up the rest of mine to get rid of them. I shot 5 different deer with them at ranges from 10 to 60 yards and none of the slugs enterd the deer. You would hear them hit but woudlnt penetrate the skin. I shot 5 of them at a 2x4 at about 50 yards. The slug would just leave a dent in the board and flatten out and fall on the ground. Every shot i went a picked up a still hot slug that did not go through the skinny part of a 2x4 at 50 yards. They group well but i would never hunt with them again.

No way. Those shells got wet or something. A steel BB will penetrate a 2x4 at 50 yards...
They may ahve just been a bad lot. I know i went to 3 different stores to buy slugs with teh same lot no. I ended up with 5 boxes of them. I keep all my ammo in ammo cans marked. I keep shotgun shells together, rimfire rounds together, small centerfirerounds together and larger centerfire rounds together. I never had a problem with amoo getting wet or giving me a problem like that before or since then. Thats just my personal experience with them. Im not trying to stop anyone from trying them. They had great groups!
