RE: Hastings Shotgun Barrels
I have not heard anything but good about them and wish they made a barrel for the Mossberg shotgun. What I don't understand is that Mossberg makes replacement barrels for Remington 870's and 1100 series.

RE: Hastings Shotgun Barrels
Only negative I heard about the hastings is they say "Do not shoot Copper Solids" thru it. I get my best groups with copper solids. A friend who just picked up that crazy looking barrel with the muzzlebreak told me this and said hastings reported possible warped barrels??

RE: Hastings Shotgun Barrels
The 12 ga Hastings say to not shoot the copper solids due to the diameter apparently. Causes more heat and warping can occur according to a gunsmith. The 20 ga do not say anything about it. My dad, my uncle and I have owned 12 ga hastings fully rifled barrels since 96. I can't say enough about them. We consistently are shooting sub 3" groups at 100 yards with Federal Classic Sabots. All three shoot the same. My dad had owned a Remington fully rifled before and the Hastings are a big improvement over that particular barrel.

RE: Hastings Shotgun Barrels
You might want to check Remington's and Hasting's websites, I think they've redone the copper solid so it can be used in the Hastings barrel.
Mine is 1 of the old ones before cantilevers but it will lay 3 regular Brennekes touching at 100 yds. 5 Hornady H2Ks land inside a 3 inch circle at two hundred yds. Of 7 deer, between 100 and 200 yards, farthest any traveled was 30 yds.
Get the barrel.
