Those spent Game Load hulls were and are in high demand by many who reload for 16g.

Reportedly the new Vista/Remington Game Loads are also black-colored but made with typical Federal straight-wall hulls with paper base wad, and are nominal 2-3/4" after firing. Further it seems the Claybuster wads many use for the older real Remington 16g GL compression formed hulls are a loose fit in the new Federal design GL hulls.

More to think about for those who reload for 16-gauge. Meanwhile anyone shooting the older Remington 16g Game Load shells would be well advised not to toss them into the spent hull containers.
My mistake you are 100% correct.
