Hello Customers It has been some time since my last news letter, have been working night and day to develop and supply you all with high quality new products, so I have not had much time to keep you all up to speed on projects like ammo, brass, and dies. I'm very happy to announce that HBBS 410 ammo in the plastic hull will be here very soon, look for it in August. This new ammo has been tested by H.P White Laboratory, using equipment and procedures specified in ANSI/SAAMI Z299.2-1992, Voluntary  Industrial  Performance Standards for Pressure and Velocity of Shotshell Ammunition for USE of Commercial Manufacturers. H.B.B.S  410 Slug factory Loads are compliant with performance standards. A special thank you goes out to Lester W. Roane at H.P White Laboratory for performing these test. Lester went out of his way to do these. The 410 ga. has been ignored for so long, PSI Equipment had to be made up for these modern P.S.I tests.  Now some more exciting news, Bruce Bertram has supplied us with a small lot of H.B.B.S 410 brass, for our examination and testing. Well this brass is fantastic! Exactly the high quality product that I want to sell. Thank you, Bruce Bertram. Here is a can do guy. Bruce went to a huge effort to manufacture this run of brass cartridges. These cartridges have special specifications to match our chambering.  Bruce did the whole deal on his own dime, now that says lots about what he thinks of the H.B.B.S 410. We need to here from you customers on brass and dies, how many of you are ready to move up to a high  performance slug gun?? Let Jim at Hoening Big Bore South hear about it. The more we here from customers on brass and dies the faster we can get these new products out to you!!!    "ENDEAVOR  TO PERSEVERE'' ''KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROSS, HAVE FAITH''                                                          Best Regards,  Ed Hoening

HBBS .410 - The New World of Shotgun Slugs December 28, 2007 Hello Customers, Thank you all for being so patient with us. As you all know unfortunate delays has set us back considerably. I know many of you are chomping at the bit to get these new products and some of you missed using the HBBS 410 in the 2007 deer hunting season. This has been very unfortunate and frustrating for all of us.

Now for the Big News! Brass cartridges and reloading dies are in the works for 08. This has taken years to make possible. These new cartridges are custom designed for the HBBS 410 slug barrels and are a very high quality product. Reloaders can expect performance levels and loading to be very similar to the 411 hawk and the 411 jdj in a shotshell hull with the added benefit of the extra case length of the HBBS cartridge. The HBBS 410 cartridge has a full 2.500 inch over all length and should give it just a little more case capacity over the 411 hawk and 411 jdj and uses a slightly bigger .417 slug. These new cartridges and dies will make your HBBS 410 an excellent choice for all of your big game needs and the ULTIMATE slug barrel. The HBBS 410 with all of its different loading possibilities is truly a remarkable project. You can load it using a star crimp, light plastic case load, an uncrimped plastic case load up to 1500 fps and in the new brass cartridge you can load the HBBS 410 up to a performance level never seen before from a shotgun slug barrel; all the more reason to own and use the HBBS 410. Hoening Big bore Slug will begin producing a custom star crimp load for the HBBS 410 slug barrels, expect it in the next few months. Requests and inquires have convinced me to put it into production asap.  Best Regards, Ed Hoening Hoening Big Bore Slug LLC.
