Can I shoot regular slugs in the HBBS 410 barrel?
The HBBS 410 will handle regular 2 1/2 inch slug loads for 410 chambering. It is not recommended because of inaccuracy produced by the regular slugs. The HBBS 410 was designed with close tolerances and best performance comes from loads with components having consistant close tolerances and quality. Of the loads tested during development of the barrels, the heavy (300gr. or more) slugs having 1000fps or more muzzle velocity produced the most accurate loads. We do not know of any current production loads fitting these parameters (other than HBBS 410 loads) so no recommendation for factory loaded ammuntion. HBBS 410 versatility is great for reloaders and a great improvement over other slug barrels in accuracy and power. Current factory loads do not measure up to what a reloader can produce.
