Original performance claimed by Westley Richards IMO is highly suspect. I say this b/c with modern game laws, the slug gun is necessary in many regions. If the LT's viable at 2-300 yard it seems someone would be punching out something similar in the correct diameter to run thru the plethora of rifled slug guns out there today. I know of no-one claiming even 200 yard slugs for deer size game.

I am surprised you have come to that conclusion since you now shoot your gun at 100yds with an aerodynamically inefficient slug. 200yds isn't that hard to believe, at all, over open sites and 1500fps. Handgun silhouette is shot to 200yds over open sites at similar velocities. 300 yds is certainly a challenge for both gun and shooter.
Why create such a projectile and system to launch it if there was no real performance improvement to be gained?
Holland certainly spent a lot of time and effort after 1904 to try and equal the Westley rifled choke systems.
