It looks like you're suggesting that focusing on the head is the most effective approach.
Paralectic noted that without a headshot multiplier, focus on hitting the largest part of the target to maximize pellet hits. Aiming for the head increases miss chances for individual pellets. I believe I switched to the M1014 to unlock shotguns, but recently the 870 MCS and UTS-15 have given me better results. Accuracy seems to have improved since then.
