| OMG. Yesterday I snagged 6 boxes of the red ACTIV factory shells, almost two pretty to shoot, not quite! I have the 16 gauge wads from Ballistic Products, does anyone have a load sheet for a 7/8 oz target load? Much appreciated![/quote] |

| I have 100 of these hulls, they were new unprimed when I got them. I load one ounce loads and they load up and shoot real nice. |

I’m hoarding mine 
Loaded up 300 for combo grouse loads (5 + 7.5). That should last me & my son quite a while. They are finicky to crimp, IMO. But once you get it, they come out great. |

I've got a full box of Remington factory 11/4oz. Wish I knew what their powder was in them hulls. Don't want to take one apart. Afraid I wouldn't be able to identify the powder.
Some where in my old lyman manuals I seen a 1 1/4oz load. It should be easy to stuff 1 1/4 oz in active. |

| a 7/8 load would have to be interpretive - 1oz was the lightest load published then . But , the loads could be integrated from what the guys posted here . And , I can tell you personally that I sure do wish the DR was avil then ! It makes nice little loads NOW if you have some ! |
