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.
Good roomy hulls, if you like feds. And the proper pigment! |
