With a shotgun holding is so lose is probably the problem. The slug doesn't leave the barrel fast enough and the recoil effects accuracy.
You don't have to hold it with a death grip just try to guide the recoil straight back so the barrel doesn't jump.
Well, the front of the gun is on a rubber V stand, the back was sitting on a pad..
Shooting style seems to work fine with my 870 slug gun... Although I'm firing hornady sst at 2000fps.
I didn't know that there was an issue with velocity and recoil as you are implying.. I always thought it didn't matter what weapon you were firing, the projectile was long gone before the kick happened.
