Rottweil EXACT GREEN 2020 Press release Fürth, March 5, 2020 Up to 30% more power ROTTWEIL EXACT GREEN with Lead-Free Slug Fürth, Germany. In a few regions of Europe, legislation is meanwhile stipulating not only lead- free rifle ammunition but also lead-free slugs. However, this is not the only reason why ROTTWEIL is launching a lead-free slug on the market at IWA 2020. The new EXACT GREEN shotgun shell delivers up to 30% more power – in other words, comparable to shells with a slug containing lead. RUAG Ammotec GmbH – Kronacher Str. 63 – 90765 Fürth – Germany 1 / 3 Up to 30% more power with EXACT GREEN: ROTTWEIL EXACT GREEN shot shells deliver more power than comparable Rottweil cartridges with a Brenneke lead slug. Thanks to the lower weight of the slug, EXACT GREEN shot shells can be loaded faster than the heavier lead slugs, without exceeding the safety- relevant maximum pressure of the shot shells. The high velocities made possible by this yield energy values that are up to 30% higher in comparison. The new tin slug is offered in 2 loads: a 12/70 with regular gas pressure for standard shotguns and a 12/70 with a magnum load (max. 1050 bar) for shotguns with stronger firing. The benefits of the new EXACT GREEN series at a glance: . Up to 30% more power compared to similar loads with a Brenneke lead slug . Extremely high velocity: . 12/70 magnum: V 2.5 = 565 m/s . 12/70 standard: V 2.5 = 515 m/s . 25 g tin bullet with a green plastic rear section . Shotguns with a standard shot firing system are not necessary . Lower bullet weight at a higher velocity; this means: . Reduced lead factor with extremely flighty wild boars . Less bullet drop at greater shooting distances . Transparent case with a 20 mm bottom cap Article no.

  • An Unusual Hunting-Related Death Due to a Brenneke® Supersabot Shotgun Slug
    Rom J Leg Med [22] 237-242 [2014] DOI: 10.4323/rjlm.2014.237 © 2014 Romanian Society of Legal Medicine An unusual hunting-related death due to a Brenneke® SuperSabot shotgun slug Lorenzo Gitto1,*, Aniello Maiese1, Massimiliano Dell’Aquila1, Pietro Falco2, Giorgio Bolino1 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Hunting accidents are a underestimate cause of injuries and death. Brenneke® slugs are the most common used shotgun ammunitions in hunting. A particular type of Brenneke® slug is the SuperSabot, characterized by high speed, high energy and very good precision. Deaths due to a Brenneke® SuperSabot are rarely described in literature. Three hunters were carrying out a wild boar hunting expedition. During the hunting a wild boar suddenly appeared in the middle of the group. The hunter who was behind the group instinctively fired to the beast using a semiautomatic gauge 12 shotgun. The bullet hit the wild boar, made a through-through wound and then hit the hunter who was just ahead the animal, killing him. At the external examination of the beast, an entry wound and an exit wound were found. At the postmortem examination of the hunter, an entry wound, a perforating wound and even an exit wound were identified. After a thorough research, a spent shell wad and a live slug were found, later identified as Brenneke® SuperSabot shotgun slugs. This case highlights the importance of thorough scene investigation and postmortem examination to identify all of weapons and projectiles used, in order to distinguish among homicide, suicide and accident. Key Words: forensic science, shotgun slug, Brenneke® SuperSabot, shotgun wounds, hunting accidents.

  • Homicide by a Rifled Shotgun Slug: Unconventional Ballistics
    Rom J Leg Med [19] 101-106 [2011] DOI: 10.4323/rjlm.2011.101 © 2011 Romanian Society of Legal Medicine Homicide by a rifled shotgun slug: unconventional ballistics Luv Sharma1*, P.K. Paliwal2 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Two types of firearms are well known- Rifled and smoothbore. The shotgun is conventionally loaded with shot. Shot is a collective term for small balls of lead used primarily as projectiles in shotguns. Ammunition for shotguns in the USA is shotgun shells, shotshells, or just shells; cartridge is standard usage in the United Kingdom and India. Ballistic expertise in India of the world usually bases on the rigid idiom that pellets emerge from a shotgun while bullets and the like are fired from rifled weapons. Anything not conforming to this reasoning is treated and termed as ‘bizarre’. Homicide by shotgun slugs in India has not been reported extensively, though the incidence may be more than expected. This case highlights the fact that ammunition in the stricter sense may not be ‘pathognomic for a type of firearm and the crime solving agencies must re-educate themselves on this aspect. Key Words: firearms, smooth bore, rifled shotgun is a firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder, which uses A the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid projectile called a slug. The usual ammunition as mentioned in texts and routinely encountered by Forensic experts is the traditional smoothbore weapon firing pellets from a cartridge. In India, no standard textbook of Forensic Medicine describes the possibility of a ‘rifled shotgun’ in detail.

  • Non-Lead Ammunition for Deer Hunting at the National Conservation Training Center
    Non-Lead Ammunition for Deer Hunting at the National Conservation Training Center The use of non-lead ammunition, also known as non-toxic or lead-free (though some acceptable ammunition may contain trace amounts of lead), has increased primarily due to the toxicity of lead when ingested by wildlife. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requires the use of non-lead ammunition for waterfowl hunting throughout the U.S., and it encourages its use in all hunting. One problem that can occur in deer hunting is that lead bullet or slug fragments, or even tiny particles, can be ingested by scavenging birds and animals, which are then poisoned. For these reasons, beginning in 2013, all firearms hunting at NCTC has been with non-lead ammunition. The following are some examples of nontoxic ammunition that could be used at NCTC as part of our managed deer hunt. Mention of a company or product does not constitute an endorsement, nor does it imply suitability to the exclusion of other products that may also be suitable. Hunters are encouraged to investigate to determine the non-lead ammunition that would best suit his or her needs. Shotgun Slugs – for smoothbore shotguns Brenneke TKO Non-toxic in sabot slugs – may also be used in rifled barrels DDupleks Monolit - steel & polymer slug – may also be used in rifled barrels DDupleks Dupo, Hexolit and Rossa - expanding steel & polymer slugs – may also be used in rifled barrels Hevi-Shot Foster Slugs (discontinued, but a few still for sale) Winchester Super X RS15LF Zinc Slugs (discontinued, but some are still

    RELOADING For Centerfire Cartridges GUIDE 2018 1 Clean burning Our use of only the finest of raw materials is a renowned characteristic of all Vihtavuori powders. We take great pride in producing a very pure and clean burning powder which allows longer shooting sessions between cleanings. The clean-burning characteristics of our powders result in greatly reduced carbon build-up and powder fouling, ultimately giving longer barrel life. Decoppering agent After extensive testing and development, we’ve begun adding a decoppering agent to all of our powders. This additive deters the adhesion and build-up of copper fouling in the bore. Excessive jacket material fouling is a well-known and established cause of accuracy loss. This fouling must be removed from time to time to keep a rifle performing at its peak potential. Our new decoppering agent prevents much of this fouling from building up in the first place, greatly prolonging your THE POWER OF shooting sessions, and extending barrel life.

  • A Deer's Worst Nightmare Since 1898
    A deer’s worst nightmare since 1898. They’ve taken bears, lions, moose, leopards, even Cape buffalos. Think what they’ll do to a deer. After 116 years, they’re just about perfect. In 1898, in the town of Leipzig, Germany, an industrious young man named Wilhelm Brenneke invented a shotgun projectile that forever changed hunting and hunting cartridges. As a boy, he was told by his grandfather “if you kill, you must kill humanely.” Unhappy with the munitions of his day, and the number of majestic game animals wounded and lost due to poorly constructed bullets, he created a projectile of unprecedented accuracy, energy, and power, with a unique weight- forward design and massive frontal area.

  • For Immediate Release January 2, 2018 Brenneke Introduces
    Brenneke of America, L.P. PO Box 1481 • Clinton, IA 52733-1481 800/753-9733 • fax 563/244-7421 www.brennekeusa.com e-mail: [email protected] For immediate release January 2, 2018 Brenneke introduces shocking new TOPAS® 12-gauge sabot slug “A shockingly different shotgun sabot” is how Brenneke® describes its new TOPAS® 12-gauge, 2 3/4 inch saboted slug. It is shockingly reasonable in price, comparable to mass-produced Foster-type slugs, but much higher in quality and offering superior performance. Unlike most sabots that trade power for accuracy, the massive frontal area of the TOPAS®—equal to a 16-gauge slug—delivers a substantial shock to a game animal. It leaves the muzzle packing 1919 ft. lbs. of energy at 1673 feet per second. It is still traveling at 1109 fps at 100 yards, delivering 843 ft. lbs. of energy; enough to stop any deer. The 2/3 ounce TOPAS® slug has a flat trajectory, and accuracy is outstanding. It is capable of two-inch, five-shot groups at 40 yards, and is suitable for use in rifled or smoothbore shotgun barrels having any choke. The name “TOPAS” is an acronym for “Top Accuracy and Speed.” It is pronounced like, and shares its color with, the topaz semi-precious stone. It also gives a nod to the 1969 espionage movie of the same name, directed by Alfred Hitchcock—known for his shocking endings. The TOPAS® is designed for hunters wishing to reliably stop deer-size game at reasonable distances without spending a fortune on ammunition. Wilhelm Brenneke invented the modern shotgun slug in Germany in 1898, and his descendants carry on his insistence on accuracy, performance, and ethical, humane hunting practices in the company he founded.
