It's really hard to estimate effective radius as the pellets do get thrown very far. I wouldn't consider the cast radius an effective radius as they're moving pretty slow at the periphery and most players probably wouldn't consider them valid hits (riccochets, not felt etc).
At TAC-08, pellets were going high enough to hit the 30' ceiling and cross over the top of the barrier netting at the live range falling onto retailers on the other side. Not dangerous, but if they can go 30' straight up, they can go further horizontally. I wouldn't claim a 60' blast diameter based on that, but pellets could be scattered over a 60' circle in a clear area.
