RE: I need info on the Hastings Slug Barrel
Dr. Death, I believe that Rebel is talking about Remington's CopperSolid sabot slugs as first generation, not the Hastings barrels.
The first generation CopperSolids had a larger hollow point than what's on the market now. Old hollowpoint was something like .375" and current hollowpoint is something like.250". I'm talking about the 3-inchers . Hope it helps.
I tried some of them from my 12 ga. H&R Ultra Slug Hunter. Wasn't impressed.
