What would one use a 28 gauge slug on?

I was going to ask the same thing. My only thought would be home defense. Light easy gun with light recoil and it would be deadly at close range. I think they say 28 gauge is equal to a 54 calibre in muzzle loading so I guess it could be a hot enough round for hunting if gun is accurate enough. For home defense would think it more powerful than a 45 and maybe a 44 magnum. I know there are limitations in some states that nothing less than 20 gauge for large game hunting and I can't think of any small game that I would hunt with a 28 ga slug.

I guess 28 gauge slug would be good if up close hog hunting. Ya'll got a hog problem up there. Btw if your using it for Bear hunting then you are way more man than me. Let go with both barrels and get ready to pull your Bowie knife.
