My hypothesis.
For Wonko - it was the No. 7 shot
Nonsense. The larger shot provide more resistance and keep the powder from burning too fast.

Ah...now I understand the mystical qualities of 5 1/2 shot! Now how do these decrease recoil while increasing velocity and range?? Do they put sodium bicarbonate in the air chamber to extinguish burning fibre wads also?  And a blessed day of Thanksgiving to all. Despite the frustrating BS, I'm thankful for most everyone here, and for this site https://sites.google.com/site/anotherdaysjourneybackhome/worship/be-thankful

So I was shooting quail in South Georgia this weekend and, after taking a shot at a bird, the guide said it sounded like the gun doubled. I knew it hadn't and wasn't too concerned until I looked down the right barrel and found a piece of the wad firmly wedged in there ... Maybe I missed something but did you get the bird by chance? I'm guessing not, but if you did,that would be something to add to th puzzle.

Now how do these decrease recoil while increasing velocity and range?? Do they put sodium bicarbonate in the air chamber to extinguish burning fibre wads also? Simple. The cushioning provided by the wad, identical in action to most plastic wads you'll notice, allows the gun to held tighter and with more substance to push against the shot go faster. And the faster wads stay ahead of the flame front and don't catch fire.

I was totally unaware of the fact that the "Law" stating actions have an opposite & equal reaction had been repealed.
Anything I read stating that Velocity & Range have been increased while reducing Recoil I take with a Very Large Grain of Salt.

Fortunately for you the "you learn something new every day" business is still going strong.
I'm always happy to help out the less well informed.

Wonko;
Thanks for all the help, think I'll just pass on this bit of it though. If all the tricks, gadgets etc Ive seen or read about over my life time which increase velocity while reducing recoil actually worked guns would be pulling away from us today rather than recoiling.
Only thing which has ever given me that sensation was a 3.5" Rocket Launcher. It of course is just an open tube for aiming the rocket, while thrust all goes out the back. the forward pull comes from the friction of the rocket traveling down the tube.
