Same here Milton but they aren't always purple. I can tolerate a variety of colors in a nice 16, I bet most of us can.

Those thirty or so year old red Winchester AA style 16’s do it for me ! But I kinda like the old AA red 12’s 28’s and 410’s as well ! Heck I’ve even got 4 or 5 old red Winchester AA 20’s .

I think its the Federal hulls that are purple and they are usually more costly than others . The only 16 gauge I owned was a 57' Ithaca 37 and I shot mostly Rios out of it . Even walmart here stocks 16 and 28 gauge shells because we have alot of quail hunters .
