Does anybody remember Activ turkey loads?

I used to hunt with these back in the 1990's. Killed my first Tom with one. 3" 2 oz. #4 load. They kicked so hard, you almost forgot your name.

Activ turkey loads were loaded with nickel plated shot. I've shot Kent diamond shot loads before.

Activ also made dive loads with all plastic hulls. There were only 20 in a box.

I hated them, more stuck hulls and sticks to pokem out than I wanted to mess with.

I've felt the boom from those. I wanna say the 3" loads were actually 2 1/4 ounces.
