At HD ranges I doubt there's much problem, if any, Tyro. Best thing is to check YOUR weapon at the longest distance you'll have to shoot in your house and look at the spread. My best guess is if the pattern's less than 5:, no problem...

Remember, spread is not the advantage of the shotgun for HD, the capability of dumping immense amounts of energy into a small area on a perp is.
