Activ 3 1/4 dr.-1 oz, 2 1/4 inch what exactly is in it? Doh, I know I could cut it open but don't want to.

Some consider Activ to be preemo stuff...I vaguely remember shooting them as a kid. That 1 shell is probably worth more than the entire box sold for in the 80s but that's about it.
They made some that were a stout 4-1/2 dram that my uncle used for turkeys.
 
These, and several other shot shells, were in some stuff my Dad stored away. Just wondered about them. Seen them selling for a couple bucks apiece on line. I may shoot them to see how well they still hold up.
 
Thankful to have a big box full of 12ga empties. Was given some loaded 20ga. 2 3/4” that had 1 1/4oz nickel plated 4’s and was money on cranes. It’s been tough to find a 3” load that worked as well. Of course I’m not sure those loads kicked my wife any less than a 12ga would have.
