Thanks all for your replies. ACTIV was another brand of all plastic shell and one of my buddies has been shooting up a bunch of them in 20-gauge that came from one of his friends. They are reloads and those yellow all plastic hulls sure cause some comment on the course.

I used to shoot ACTIV shells at Skeet a number of years ago.

I shot quite a few active’s for a bit. They are “softer” plastic/vinyl over a metal base. The ones i had, all were 20’s, and reloaded well. Tha Wanda were hard plastic, and had little or no metal in them.

And Winchester quit making compression formed hulls! Will these people ever learn to leave well enough alone? I never had any particular problem with paper hulls. OH WELL. Our friend, Morris Baker at RST it still making paper shells.

I've got a full box on ACTIV 12's somewhere that were in a bunch of ammo a friend left with me when the movers wouldn't take the stuff unless it was in some sort of secure container (note to self: if you ever use movers make sure you bury your ammo in boxes of other stuff). I've never shot them; thought they were kind of a curiosity.
