My red Activ 16 ga. hulls are much nicer.  I thought Activ used yellow on 20 ga. hulls? |

The yellow are 20's I have about 500 unfired myself and a few thousand wads.
The 16's are red I don't know how many I have of them unfired but its several. I have a few flats of 16's factor ammo also.
I never liked them as well because of the split at the crimp after just a couple of loads. |

These are probably orange either faded or a washed out photo.
I just want to see what some one will pay for them.
I did some research a while back, I was considering trying to mfg these myself. I found out that Activ bought the hulls from a co. in Spain called Zigor. I was even told they are still mfg. today.
Any of you guys from Europe ever see these hulls around?? |

| A friend of mine gave me 200 once fireds he picked up at his clubs lucky target shoot a few years ago. The crimp segments usually split after 2 reloads, so I load them with my 1 1/8 of #5 for pheasants and don't worry about recovering them. I sure would'nt pay .10 a piece for them. |

I have several unopened bags of new Activ 16 gauge hulls. If anyone needs some, make me an offer?
