hahaha Not myself Team Sergeant, it was an advanced shotgun class that our facility hosted a few months ago. We don't use slugs on steel at close ranges, due to the tendency for the slug to send molten metal both from the steel and the slug all over the place, and it craters the steel really bad eventually eating holes through it.
The 300 yard targets were standard 40" E type silhouettes.
I'm not sure what sort of energy the slug maintains out at that range but we had some students hitting it, I was pretty surprised when I saw it myself.
