Brenneke slugs are the best of all the slugs made. The square front profile cuts a hole vs wedging a hole as the classic pumpkin ball slugs do. I've shot all of my Michigan deer with 12 or 20ga Brennekes and they rarely go more than 3 steps with a lung shot. You collapse the lungs, they can't take a breath and down they go, and right now. I think that Brennekes in either a 28ga or a .410 would be a marvelous shorter range deer round. I had friends in high school that used their Stevens 310 .410's with slugs for deer and did just fine. For close in deer I'd take a Brenneke slug over any rifle that just goes through and through and makes a small hole.
