I took the dimples out of my 870 with a round file. I used a fine grit sandpaper to smooth out the final product, but noticed a slight sticking at the 5th shell or so. I sanded the inside of the tube some more and I also sanded the orange follower slighly all the way around in the direction that the follower moves within the tube. Be sure to clean all debris out of the tube and to wipe off the small amount of follower material. Try this trick to get it to work better.

I can fit 7 (2 3/4) in the tube and they feed reliably. Smooth as p**p through a goose!
