A 1 ounce load in an 8 pound gun should be soft in recoil and not recoiling out of one's left hand. Something would seem to be "wrong". All I can think of is wrong powder type, too much of a powder charge or more than 1 ounce of shot. You say everything is in spec. Triple check amount of shot thrown, the amount of powder thrown, and powder type in machine. Then try a different lot of 700-X. If all else fails try a different powder, not in any book anywhere but 22 grains of Green Dot has been working fine for me with 1 1/8 ounce.
