OK, I give up. I've been trying to find out the specific slug load used by Alaska State Troopers, or Conservation Officers for bear medicine.
Sure is a ton of "They use slugs" as if it didn't matter which. Some have said Brenneke slugs, but without the specifics.
If anybody happens to know the specific 12 ga. shotgun slugs they're issued, I'd appreciate it. I'd guess 3" Brenneke of some type. Or maybe they take on Grizzlies with 2 3/4" Brennekes--1 1/8 or 1 oz.
Or maybe they can use slugs of their choice.
Or some might know what Conservation Officers might be issued in the lower 48 in Grizzly country.
Brenneke's site shows the 2 3/4" 1 1/8 oz. short mag. Special Forces slug at 34" of gelatin penetration and claim it's the deepest penetrator out there.
Dixie makes 12 ga. slugs that are 730 grains at 2000 fps! Shooting those might be as bad as getting hit by the bear.
Haven't seen penetration or performance of the 3" Black Magic in gelatin. Anybody seen it?
OK, I'm getting carreid away with the questions. What do you all say?
