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.
