A barrel is $400. A duck hunter will buy that much ammo pretty quickly at $40 a box so replacing the barrel was a good move on their part even if they didn't think their ammo caused the failure.
That it was an ammo issue and they have seen it happen more than they would like.

Translation: bad barrel design, and/or materials, and/or manufacturing processes.
I'm surprised it was the ammo guys that took care of you. Maybe they have an agreement.
It's to bad they put out a bad one, happens to every OEM, Beretta is otherwise a fine company. Good enough to know the 390 series needed improved hence the new models that replaced it.
I have cut one open, and that's not a defect - it's a feature.sharp edged shot resembling small foundry slag

Thanks. You make my point. Had to be a flaw in that one barrel.
