First I've heard about them...

Looking over the site, I note that the target shown is not actual size, but around half scale. If so, I'm getting better accuracy from my two slug shooters(one smoothbore)with the KO Brenneke.

Also, the fragmentation they're so proud of will reduce penetration on heavier game. Too bad, looks like very good Sectional Density.

OTOH, there's no ineffective 12 gauge slugs.

Andrew, buy both and see how they do in YOUR shotgun. That's the only way to know for sure.

If you do use these, how about a T&E? Thanks...
