[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2974994, member: 27307"] H870 got a bad rep for being very dirty to shoot and too slow for the then currently popular cartridges. I use it on some of my more capacious cases with heavier bullets. Longer barrels and slightly tighter crimp helps with the dirty residue. You can certainly use full cases of the US869 with heavier hunting style bullets like the 153.5 Bergers or the Hornady 150 gr. A-Tips. The drawback is the loss of velocity and the potential for less efficiency. :) [/QUOTE]
