Unless it was a solid lead slug...longer range ,

Or a sabot type slug, still longer range...and something like getting hit with a sledge hammer. The conventioal rifled slug, Foster or Brenke, would be pretty much equivalent to being shot with a Revolutionary war era Pennsylvania Rifle. The sabot slug would be worse. Either probably good to 100 yards, especially the sabot type. The sabots take a special shotgun though to get maximum range and accuracy, one with a rifled barrel.

Next up a .223 sabot fired from a long long long way from a 0.5 BMG caliber rifle.

A magnetized flechette round will hold a 4"-6" group at 200 yd.

But that ammo would definitly be traceable.
