As accurate as it gets. Day after day. Since 1919.

Renowned for its outstanding penetration, this is a classic for hunting young boars and roe deer. TIG® continuously proves to be one of the most successful bullets for all light and moderately heavy types of game on a worldwide scale. The design of the TIG® causes a mushroom-like deformation of the harder rear core, along with a maximum release of energy facilitated by the copper/nickel-plated jacket. In addition, the jacket provides optimal penetration and utmost precision.

How partial fragmentation projectiles work.

The binuclear partial fragmentation projectile was invented by BRENNEKE. After hitting the game's body, the front core breaks while the rear ensures deep penetration and an exit wound. In other words: maximum release of energy and stopping power that matches the size of the game. Thanks to the original BRENNEKE sharp cutting edge, there will be a blood trail to follow when stalking escaping game.  Universal binuclear partial fragmentation projectiles are ideal for all types and sizes of game. The BRENNEKE range includes the Torpedo Ideal Bullet TIG® and the Torpedo Universal Bullet TUG®, as well as the BASIC Bullet.
