Certainly possible with the more aerodynamic slugs, at least in a Fosbery gun. Holland's thinking was that the ball and shotgun should be limited to 150yds, although their own testing seem to show accuracy far beyond this range.
This load dropped to subsonic and still proved capable at 300yds.
Gatsby,
The target you posted described the bullet as Nickle Based. I think this is the slug I recalled from the Manton's catalog, ca1930 (I if I remember correctly). The metal base looks like a giant gas check and there is a air cavity within the lead slug. I'll look it up again when I get a chance.
BTW, wad the target produced by a Holland?
