They're shot in target competition up to 100yds. Heard that some areas used to run 200yd events, but don't think these are/were common.

I used to shoot my 1907 upto 100yds and it would still group very well, a few weeks ago my nephew was shooting for his school (they are the posh part of the family) at Bisley at 50 yards with an old match 54 and that grouped well he just needs to learn to read the wind. I would always shoot Eley Tenex through mine and elevation was always very consistant you just needed to know your wind at 100yds

100 yard comps are very common with the bull at that distance being around 1 inch. There have been comps held at 200 yards but they are very uncommon, There used to be one held anually on the old 200 yard shorts range at bisley (roughly where the new shotgun layouts for the comonwealth games are now) IIRC. I belive this was shot on the old size NRA fullbore target.

In Holland we started 100m competitions:

The Leslie Williams shoot is 200yards. The wind is a problem at this distance but should still group within 2".

Yup. I used to enter this, using my (now long gone) Annie 1813 Supermatch.
It was more than capable of 1MOA groups or better using 'selected' batches of Eley Tenex and - in my relative youf and when shooting 3 days a week - did deliver sub 1" groups on 100yd ranges as long as they were not too wind infested. On the accurately described (and now also extinct) very exposed 200yds range at Bisley, 1MOA was a dream; 2MOA was a very good day. I do not recall shooting there in windless conditions.

The Leslie Williams 200yrd shoot is in two weeks time at Bisley if memory serves me correctly. I'll be there - no doubt laying in a large puddle!
