Brenneke Black Magic 3" heavy magnum slugs in stock!
I know MidwayUSA isn't everyone's favorite retailer, but the Black Magic slugs have proven to be hard to come by. They ain't cheap, either, at $2.60 per shell. But $2.60 is pocket change if you're standing nose-to-nose with a bear.

They're 1-3/8 oz slugs moving at 1500 FPS. I'm guessing they're made of harder lead, to boot.

And at $2.60 per shell, it's a very pertinent question. The short answer is that they're not better than 1oz slugs in most scenarios. In fact, they're worse in all but a select few circumstances.
Two reasons I prefer them while in bear country:
1) Harder lead projectile vs standard foster slugs. It deforms less and doesn't fragment, which means it'll penetrate deeper thru bear fur, fat, muscle and bone.
2) External ballistics are better. It's a faster and heavier hunk 'o lead.
Brenneke Black Magic:
602 grains (1 3/8oz)
Muzzle Velocity 1,502 feet/s
3,014 ft/lb of energy at the muzzle
Federal Premium 1oz slug:
438 grains
Muzzle Velocity 1,300 feet/s
1,642 ft/lb of energy at the muzzle
The compromises (and there's always a compromise)
It's a lot more expensive per shell
It kicks like a mule
It's a 3" shell, so mag tube capacity is reduced.
Heavier/faster/harder slug means over penetration is a serious concern in urban scenarios.

Reviews for "The Trials of Tituba: Racism and the Witch Hunt"
1. Sarah - 2/5
I was really disappointed with this documentary on the Salem witch trials. While it had some interesting information and interviews with historians, the overall presentation was lacking. The pacing was slow and there were too many repetitive anecdotes. Also, the reenactments felt cheesy and did not really add much to the storytelling. Overall, I feel like the documentary could have been much more engaging and informative if it had a stronger focus and better execution.
2. John - 1/5
As a history enthusiast, I was really excited to watch this documentary on the Salem witch trials. However, I was greatly disappointed by the lack of depth and analysis. The documentary barely scratched the surface of the complex social, religious, and cultural aspects that played a role during that time. Instead, it focused too much on sensationalizing the events and including unnecessary dramatic reenactments. Furthermore, the narration was monotonous and failed to captivate my interest. Overall, this documentary missed the mark in providing a comprehensive and insightful look into the Salem witch trials.
3. Emily - 2/5
I found this documentary on the Salem witch trials to be quite underwhelming. While it did provide an overview of the events, it felt like a surface-level exploration. The information presented was not very detailed, and I was left wanting to learn more about the individuals involved and the impact of the trials. Additionally, the documentary relied heavily on dramatized reenactments, which I found distracting and detached from the actual historical accounts. Overall, I would have preferred a more informative and in-depth analysis of the Salem witch trials.
