Use chilled rather than magnum shot, the two above techniques, and it should open the pattern up quite a bit.

An alternative to the x-wad is the old trick of dividing the shot column into layers with card wads.

Thank you, those are good options and all are in the works. The guy that shoots the parker is temporarily recoil sensitive and recoil is an issue.
