OK, I understand the matter of shot deformation, and I understand that we're pushing ROUND pellets here, but what I'm mostly interested in is the clumping... The shot in the center of the shot column wouldn't be deformed very much would it? In a 12 gauge, that's a large majority of the shot is it not? So what happens to that?

Does the shot pattern EVENLY very widely or does the pattern have increased number of "flyer" pellets while the majority of the payload delivers fairly well to point of aim?
