[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2406402, member: 27991"] Love to check out your load. Good loads are great to find, biggest problem with ACTIV was limited loads, but the ones I tried were all good, but most seemed inferior to the factory load. Those ACTIV hulls were awesome, could reload many times without splitting or other problems, straight wall had awesome load capacity and with no brass = no rust and never an ejection issue. Took a HUGE Tom (10 1/4" beard) at 65 yrds with an ACTIV 3" loaded with lead 4s. He had turned to run away, so I took the shot. 3 pellets completely penetrated the breast from the back, dropped in his tracks. The company and design was just ahead of it's time, had so many shooters make comments about me shooting those inferior shells with 'NO BRASS'. Funny how they wanted some shells after I had a limit of geese and they had feather clouds and nothing in the bag. One hunting buddy called them 'my Howitzers', but it took 2 years to convert him and by that time, they were disappearing. [/QUOTE]
