"Good news!!! We have figured out how to load .50BMG bullets into 12 gauge hulls!!! By using a variation of our patented MassForward technology we are able to make the .50BMG round nearly three and a half inches long when the slug exits the barrel. In plain English a portion of the wad stays with the bullet in flight, like fletching on an arrow. Not everyone can own a .50BMG but now everyone who owns a 12 gauge can throw .50BMG rounds down range. This round is loaded with the M17 Tracer and will burn for 3-4 seconds. We have printed 10″ groups at 125 yards out of a 19″ slug barrel, and had the projectile burn out to 400 Yards"
I don't think they go too fast though.
That thing kinda looks like an April Fool’s joke! Not that I’m knocking the concept.
“In plain English a portion of the wad stays with the bullet in flight”
That’s Brenneke’s claim to fame with their slug ammo.

I’m sure others make similar stuff too. I have some of the Brenneke but I haven’t shot it yet.
I’d like to experiment with packing a shotshell with nickels sometime. It’d still be cheaper than some of this fancy 12ga ammo.
The 12 gauge from hell...

3900 fps from a shotgun? You shoot it, I’ll watch!
