Gentlemen



I heard that someone has started to make the old brenneke Starkmantel-Geschoss. Anyone who knows more about this?



Don't be shy

Haven't heard anything about this, but, except for nostalgic reasons, why would you want to use them when there are so many newer and better designs available today?? (Just curious!! )

Hi Johan
just forget about it you can't find those old goodies easily

A friend bought a few hundred bullets in 9,3 along with some 9,3X64 ammo not too long ago. I understand the price was a steal



Has anyone tried the TOG?

From Brennekes website:

"Introduced in the 1930s, the �Starkmantel� bullet (hard-jacket) gained a legendary reputation among hunters. Now BRENNEKE continues this success with the TOG�.

This field-proven hard-jacket design is complemented by the torpedo tail and the sharp-cutting edge, both of which are successful inventions made by the design engineer Wilhelm Brenneke. Additional details such as the innovative bonding method, a new inner groove as well as a hollow point help to create an optimum expansion bullet with unique characteristics: the Original BRENNEKE Torpedo-Optimal-Bullet (TOG�).
Characteristics of the TOG�:
high bullet base with torpedo tail for optimum interior and muzzle ballistics

bonding method provides reliable combination of bullet jacket and core

strong jacket cover in the guiding surface touching the barrel

new-type inner groove geared to control expansion

distinct sharp-cutting edge for entry hole with cut hair and blood

hollow point provides quick expansion.

Owing to its design features the TOG� shows a very favourable ballistic coefficient of .42. The bullet precision thus makes it ideal for long distance shots"

I guess it's unfortunate to own an overcomplicated piece of expensive junk. I must be really lucky that my glorified toy shoots 1/2 minute groups at 300 yds with premium hunting bullets. If it keeps shooting so well I might start thinking that it's a rifle.

Do you know anyone in Germany that have used the TOG for hunting? It would be interesting to know their opion about performance, accuracy etc.

I'm thinking about trying the TOG in 9,3 or in my 8X64S.

Heard anything regarding the Blaser R-93 accidents?
