It happens a lot in Skeet with .410 loaders who use their hulls until they separate.
Around here, I recall folks back in the 60's making cut shells for impromptu poaching. They'd go out bird hunting in the fall and carry a few cut shells in case they jumped a deer at close range.
It was illegal to carry buckshot or slugs in the woods when deer season wasn't open, so I guess they figured this was a way to skirt the law. I thought it was dumb, since I think a game warden would have figured out what they were up to if they found someone carrying them.
I never saw one fired, but I knew of people who carried them.
For the same reason, cut shells are also specifically illegal in Michigan; this is called out in the DNR game handbook.
This entire concept is a solution in search of a problem.
you could hit it with a big 'ol slug that is going to hit like a truck and penetrate much, much better
