Brenneke shells available where??????

[kevmask]

I'm trying to get some info on where a guy can purchase some Brenneke shotgun shells around Edmonton, more specifically the Black Magic 12ga 3" slug??? Even Rottweil Brenneke's. I've heard great things about these slugs and any info would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to call the local shops.
They may have to special order them.

Be aware!!!
There is a recall on a few of the lot numbers.
Check the Brenneke website for more information.

Very good if not the best slug made.

Basically impossible to get in Canada, check out Challenger Slugs, Federal Deep Penetrator Power-ball or Winchester Rackmaster for slugs with better penetration and power.

Rackmaster consistently outperform Brenneke in my shotgun (thankfully!) The wadding in brenneke slugs fouls my barrel after the first round.

Brenneke manufactured ammunition is still not approved for retail sale in Canada by NRCAN.

The only Berneke style slugs I have been able to get in Canada are RWS (Rottweil) Exact line. Fiochhi makes them to but finding Fiochi ammo is getting harder all the time.

I could never find any RWS in Alberta even though there are a few dealers here that supposedly carry them. They are imported by North Sylva, I bought mine from places likes Italian Sports in Vancouver, Epps, and Accuracy plus in Peterborough down east. Accuracy Plus also carries the Challenger slugs, which use a similar slug design to the Berneke. If you are ordering from them I would get some of both and see which your shotgun prefers. Shipping is no big deal cost wise, despite what everyone who hasn't ordered ammo by mail posts. These guys also usually have them.
