I picked up a large bag of purple hulls off the free table at the local IWLA. I thought they were Federals but they are marked with Estate on the hull. The interior has a paper base wad that looks like Federal's and the head stamp 16 GA Made in USA is identical. Somewhere I read that Federal makes these, but I can't remember who marketed them. Any knowledge out there?

They are trash and VERY DANGEROUS! send them to me right away, for proper storage.
Cool
Good roomy hulls, if you like feds. And the proper pigment!
