As noted on the GGCA's forum ...

For those of you haven't noticed, haven't been looking, normally wouldn't be looking or otherwise are not aware Brenneke USA has added their re-introduced 2 1/2" 16ga slugs to their website:

http://www.brennekeusa.com/hunting-ammunition/brenneke-16tm/

I personally hadn't looked for quite some time but in a recent discussion with my contact (rep for Brenneke USA) I was informed that the subject slug had been added to Brenneke USA's website roughly a year ago. To add, there are plenty in stock at their warehouse in IA, from where they are distributed to their dealers.

As a requested note, I also want to add that if you have a pre-WW2 16ga firearm that isn't stamped 70mm, it ain't one.

For those of you that have missed previous posts on the subject, once the Brenneke slugs (originally introduced in 1898) and a few others had become commonplace most of the better German gun makers "regulated" the left shot barrel (rear trigger) of a conventionally configured drilling to shoot a slug at the same POA as the rifle barrel below at 50 meters. Pretty much turning such a drilling into what some would consider to be a poor man's double rifle.

I for one have proven all this true and am always interested in hearing how such has worked out for others.

Best regards,

Mark
