Re: 12-bore shotguns, paradox, Explora, rifles

If the 13 lb "paradoxes" were not for wing shooting, what purpose did the shot loads have?
I don't accept they were for "buckshot" against medium game. Why would someone use buckshot when they could use a ball or conical?
As the "Paradox" (read rifled choke) guns were offered in lighter weights, as well as heavy, the shot loads would have been of the lighter guns. The 11-13 lb guns almost certainly for large game with ball or conical. Maybe a heavy shorter barrel version for buckshot used in a Howda for Tiger stopping?
