More like "5 inches" (at best) to a shotgun pattern at 15 feet.
Here are some buckshot patterns at 15
yards. The author writes about a "just opening to a hand-sized" pattern at 5-7 yards:

I'm sure there are some good pictures of patterns in the 15 foot range somewhere online, though I can't find any with a quick search. Next time I take my shotgun to the range (which isn't too often since I find mild recoiling firearms more "fun") I'll take some pictures.
