Guns: Low recoil buckshot patterning

I have a shotgun class coming up later this month, so I've been testing out some budget low recoil 00 buckshot options.

While all of the loads cycled fine in my tacticool Remington 870 Wingmaster, none of the patterns were tight enough to be safe past 10-15 yards. Here are some typical patterns from 10 yards for each load:

PMC "One-Shot" Low Velocity Buckshot:

Fiocchi Exacta low recoil buckshot:

Rio Royal Buck low velocity:

 

I hate to sound like a commercial, but if you own a shotgun and think you might use it for anything beyond across-the-room distances, you need to stoke it with something like Flite Control or Versatite.
