I've got a partial bag of them. It says active on the bag. Also looks just like one that BPI sold. I have a flat of active 6's i probably bought them back in the 80's when I bought my first citori 325 26" 16 gauge. Beautiful wood with the silver reciever. I had brileys make a set of 28 ga titanium tubes with screw in tubes. I have had it in Michigan on grouse and woodcock when I hit the migration right. Still looks like it did in the box. Bad thing is I lost the box during one of my moves.

| Hammer, I would be very interested to see a picture of one of the wads in your Activ shells. I am guessing that it would look like the SG16 wad.? |

| would be a great time for Researcher to chime in ..... Activ had the G28 , but occasionally that wad pictured would show up . I do believe HB is right and it'd be cool if the wads he has are these pictured . |
