28 ga slug

[charlie cleveland]

has anyone here ever hunted with the 28 ga slug...would be nice to find someone who had used a parker and killed a deer with a slug...charlie

I've looked long and hard to find factory 28 ga. slug ammo.

It would be easy to load some using a sabot muzzle-loader of the right caliber... whatever that might be.

I tried 20 ga. Remington rifled slugs in my 28" Titanic Steel 20 ga. barrels choked IC/MOD and the crossover was ridiculous. At 30 yds. the right barrel printed at 9" to the left of center and 9" low while the left barrel printed at 10" to the right of center and 8" low. What a waste of time that was.

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 .

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.

Here is another for 28ga. I cannot comment as I don't have any experience with it.

I have some Breneke and other brand slugs for the 16 gauge .

But I'm more after something I can cast myself etc etc . I tried .578" mini balls and they left alot to be desired . I am now thinking round balls for the 10 and 16 or have Accurate Molds cut me something for the 10 and 16 based on the Lyman Sabot slug mold . I like this design as it works relatively well in a standard birdshot wad .

I have three boxes of 25 each Remington slugs that I bought about 35 years ago. I used some one time to kill a porcupine and it wouldn't even do that very well from about 10 yards. They're fairly ineffective.

When it comes to my dog's health/life or my own.... legality takes a back seat.

agreed, but Brian was talking about deer hunting

in NY it is illegal to have any slugs (or buck shot ever) with you outside of deer season- NY assumes all hunters are poachers who just have not been caught yet


if one were of the mind to - they might load buckshot in a hull factory labeled 7 1/2 or 8, just a different brand so they can be id'ed in the pocket

that is IF one were of the mind to
