    A cool find

    Every now and again, I stumble upon a cool find on fleaBay. This time, I found two boxes of 25 Brenneke slugs from Germany that made their way to the states. I won't reload these, I'll just keep them for my collection.

    You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.

    I didn't even know that there no longer available, guess that make the couple boxes I have valuable.
    I should add that mine are complete shells, not just slug, I didn't know that you could get just slugs.

    They still sell the ammo, just not the components anymore.

    If I had a hydraulic swaging setup, I would have dies made for this exact slug. The best slug for a smooth bore ever made.

    There's a rack masters swaging machine on eBay now.

    Bought a box of 20 ha off eBay, too. Collection though, not for reloading.

    Almost all Brenneke slugs are available as components. In Europe at least.
