I found two 10 round boxes of these ACTIV turkey shot shells at a gun show yesterday.  I remember them but never used or bought any back in the day.  I  know they had the heaviest pay load you could stuff into a 3 inch 12 ga. shell. No granulated buffer but the shot was nickel plated.  Thought I would try them and see how they pattern.  If they are decent I may even hunt with them.  Anybody here ever use these?  How about some real life hunting experiences with them?  Your input would be appreciated.  Thanks WTT
Deer see you and think you are a stump. The Old Gobbler sees a stump and thinks it is YOU!

Used the #5's for a few years and my Mossberg loved them.
I still have 1 box of them.
it's not the harvest,it's the chase

I still have part of a box of these left from years ago. They shot well ... Now what i have left will stay in my shell collection ....
