    I have 55 of these old red Activ 12 gauge once-fired hulls
    that were in a barrel of hulls I picked up last fall.
    If anybody in the Columbus, Ohio area can make use of these
    hulls, let me know and you can pick them up free of charge!
    Thanks!

    They load very well. I used to use those years ago. Loved em. I must have several thousand once fired Actives. Red plastic, with no brass. Had a steel ring in the lip for ejection. They are straight walled hulls, and you can use the federal data for loading them. Like to load them heavy for turkey shoots when you have to step really far back for those 50-60 yard positions. 1-3/8 oz. copper 6's at about 1350 fps with with long shot or blue dot powder.

    I have several thousand of them also. Activ put out a small free load data book out. I have one of them. It's called Activ catalog and reloading booklet.
