I found some Federal Premium 3 inch #6 2 ounce loads in a gold and blue box. They don't say Grand Slam and they don't say Triple Plus Wads on the box. I was wondering were these worth buying and are they as good as the ones that said Grand Slam on the box. I have one box of the old Grand Slam 3 inch 6s with the Triple Plus Wads and they are only 1 7/8 ounce loads.

As good as the Grand Slams. I killed a whole slug of turkeys with the 3" 2 oz. #4s and still have about 10-15 of the older Premium loads.

Thanks. I think I may get them. I still shoot lead in my 12 gauges. I will probably like them then have to work to find some more but that is ok. Longbeards shoot good in both my 12s.

Back "in the day" the 2 oz. Federal Premiums were the cat's meow.  They shot very well.  Then............if you dumped out the shot, removed the factory buffer and replaced it with BPI Original Design buffer mixed with 5% of a family secret ingredient, you would pick up squarely 15% more pattern density at 40 yards over the factory loading.
