I just took my 410 reloading process and scaled it up slightly.
I put 23 grains of Hodgdon's LilGun into a primed 28 gauge case. Put 2 felt 20 gauge wads (didn't have any 28 gauge wads handy, so i used the ones for reloading my Snider) on top of the powder with a dowel and compress.
Melt some beeswax in a jamjar and pour the molten wax into the case overtop the wads, fill partially.
Take a 54 cal muzzleloading round ball and drop it into the case on top of the still molten wax. Allow to cool. Round ball should be firmly embeded in the wax, substituting for a crimp.
Done!
The rounds are very accurate out to 25 yards with a bead sight, easily hit a 1' target.
I tried 2x musket balls in one shell as a possible bear load. Just as accurate, and only about 2" of spread at 10 yards.
Kicks like a 12 gauge target slug.
