Brenneke® Announces Green Lighting Shotgun Slug

One of the most powerful 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inch shotgun slugs on the market, Brenneke’s Heavy Field Short Magnum is now packaged as the “Green Lightning™,” with a distinctive bright green coating. The Green Lightning is loaded with a massive 1 1/4 ounce slug that generates muzzle energy greater than many centerfire rifle cartridges—2538 foot pounds, at a velocity of 1476 feet per second.

In independent testing utilizing FBI-spec ballistic gelatin, the Green Lightning HFSM’s  penetration surpassed that of five leading competitors by up to 67%.  Brenneke’s HFSM penetrated 34.9 inches of gelatin, while the nearest competitor could manage only 26 inches.  Some slugs penetrated barely over 11 inches.  Accuracy is outstanding, with the Green Lightning capable of five-shot groups as tight as 2.95 inches at 100 yards, 1.4 inches at 50 yards.  It provides exceptional performance in both rifled and smoothbore shotgun barrels.

The devastating penetration of Brenneke’s Green Lightning Heavy Field Short Magnum makes it a superb round for large game, even up to moose, to 100 yards or beyond. Its distinctive green coating also helps keep barrel fouling to a minimum. Brenneke’s unique weight-forward design, massive frontal area, and harder metal alloys, perfected over 110 years, result in minimal deformation and maximum weight retention.
