I have a Mossberg 500C that I shoot sporting clays with. it has shot thousands of rounds without any failures, no repairs. percentage wise it's held it's value far better than your Beratta. it's actually worth more than I paid for it. If you can count the rounds you have put through a shotgun it's still new. By the way, yes, the Mossberg has been fitted to me.
My health isn't good enough to shoot five rounds of sporting clays but the barrel never gets that hot. Back in my younger days I did shoot skeet with a 500A it would easily shoot 500 rounds in a day without a malfunction. The barrel never got hot on the 12 ga either. I loved to shoot skeet so much that I had to limit myself to 16 rounds in a day. Otherwise I would have never slept trying to reload enough shells.
You seem to forget the 500A is one of the few shotguns that actually survived a military trial.
