A 54 cal powerbelt bullet might work if you were going to make your own.
I think Breneke (not sure on the spelling) may make a 28ga slug or did at one time.

Making home cast Lyman slugs for the 12 gauge was no big deal . And I killed a deer with them .
The same thing should be relatively easy with the Lyman 20 gauge slug . However I've not had a great amount of luck coming up with something that suits me in the 10 gauge or 16 gauge . Don't have a 28 at the moment I wanna shoot slugs in so I've not put any effort into that one . |

Not legal here in NY. Nothing smaller than 20 allowed.

Legality is a non issue for me .
When we use the Damage Control Permits ANYTHING is legal . This past year I used sub sonic suppressed rifles and a host of other things . While 8 gauge and 22 centerfire ARE illegal during the regular gun season in my home state , they are perfectly fine during DCP hunting . |

I realize the market isn't there , but I would love to see Lyman come out with molds for the 10 and 16 gauge that are similar to the sabot molds they make for the 12 and 20 gauge . And of course for those interested in the 28 or 410 as well .
But in reality I doubt if more then a dozen for any of the gauges mentioned would sell per year . Well perhaps the 16 would do a bit better , but I'm not 100% sure of that . I will say however personally I derive quite a kick from using handloaded buckshot and homecast slugs in my old doubles . It's fun at the range and in the field . |

Here is what I am using in my 16s. Brenneke 2.5" or 65mm, It's designed to work in vintage drillings and doubles.. I think this is a limited run so I stocked up. Shoots great! They don't even list it on their site and it looks like many of their distributors are out. http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/images/SL-161BR.jpg http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/produc...acturers_id/37 Here is another for 28ga. I cannot comment as I don't have any experience with it. http://www.lg-outdoors.com/proddetail.asp?prod=77017 |

There are factory loaded 28ga. slugs by RWS, try Zanders sporting goods they did have them few months back. I have some, I always carry 3 rounds when hunting the big mountains in P.A. My hunting pal almost lost a setter to a big male coyote couple years back. A bear got after a grouse hunter I know...he was very lucky, his dog saved him most likely. Yes ...P.A. has the big cats too! Normally I hunt 16ga and always have 3 slugs when hunting the big mountains. SXS ohio
