Data still isn't the plural for anecdote. What you're describing is not consistent with observed behavior. You may have witnessed an extreme statistical outlier. You may have seen a shooting that involved larger shot than you were told. You may recall incorrectly. There are other reasons your story could be anomalous. The fact is that the penetration of pellets is mostly not dependent on the proximity to other pellets.
These two videos demonstrate the penetration observed from wax "slugs". Shot doesn't get any more tightly packed on impact than that.
This video illustrates the behavior of a cut shell. Also tightly packed shot.
What you are describing is frankly inconsistent with the observed interaction between shot and tissue simulant. There is either a missing piece to the story or it is incorrect.
