[charlie cleveland]

i ve got the 28 ga slugs just aint got no gun to use them in.ha i ve seen 28 ga coponets to reload 28 ga slugs on ballistic research site i believe...dean your luck with slugs sound s like as good as my old 8 ga round ball loads not very accurate...28 ga slugs would be legal in mississippi even the 410 slug.... charlie

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 .

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
