Default Max Effective Range of a 20ga Sabot on deer?

I believe they say a modern 20ga sabot slug will kill a deer at 200yds effectively.

What's the maximum effective range on a whitetail deer you think?
Or if you have personal knowledge of someone killing a deer with a 20ga slug past 200yds, please share what distance/circumstances.

I've heard a 12ga have killed deer at 250-300yds, think a 20 has enough juice at 250? 300yds?

A 20ga Sabot is 260grs@1900fps, I've heard this is exaggerated. I think they're .45 or .50 caliber ML style bullets, so perhaps someone can determine energies at 200, 250, 300yds.
