wildlew....... that is the $64,000 question!
Welcome to the site by the way.....
Here is a recent thread where this is discussed.
http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8128
Two different wads are thought to be the Activ G-28 (or G-32). Please look at the pictures and tell us which wad your wads look like!
Here is my comment which remains un-answered with any certainty...

Some thoughts.......
I would believe Lyman correct before I would BPI.
Is it possible that both Gualandi and Cheddite wads were used by Activ?... Within different time periods perhaps? You would think Activ would change the number designation if that was the case...
Is it possible the dimwits at BPI just "bagged up" Gualandi's as they "fit" the same as the Cheddite? This would be a bad thing!
I have used both wads... and ballistics are not the same for me.....

Wildlew. If you got out to my website and go the the link for 16 gauge loads, you will find a lot of loads for the activ wads. They are listed as cheddite loads, 1628 and 1632. |
