Legendary Stopping Power Drives Hunting Success

“Classic” is not just a name

A classic in every regard, the Classic Magnum is a direct  descendant from Wilhelm Brenneke’s first revolutionary designs. For decades it has been one of our most popular, enduring loads. The Classic Magnum puts magnum power into 2 3/4" shotguns with its heavy,  weight-forward 1 1/8 oz. slug, generating superb energy combined with a flat trajectory. The Classic’s felt wad provides excellent accuracy, while helping to keep your barrel clean. It would be hard to choose a more capable all-around slug for deer-sized game. The Classic Magnum has given countless deer around the world countless nightmares.

The Sweet Sixteen is enjoying a renaissance among shotgunners, with good reason.  More power than a 20, less weight than a 12. We’ve adapted our Classic Magnum to this classic gauge, featuring an H-type disk that reduces deformation and improves accuracy up to 50%. The felt wad helps keep your barrel clean, while also contributing to outstanding accuracy. It’s sweet.
