Hey Guys,

I recently picked up a Mec Load master which came with 3 bags of fresh active all plastic hulls. I also received lots of shot of various sizes and all types of wads including activ wads. I am 100% brand new to shotshell reloading and would like to use these activ hulls but I can't find any recipes for them in any of my manuals. Can someone point me in the direction of a manual that has reloading data for them or a website?

Thanks,
Trevor

No book in the hull bag?? Should be. That is the only place you will find the data for vintage activ wads. I would ask the guy you bought them from if not. May have them in a drawer somewhere. I would share mine but I have 30,000 plus plus hulls here and even more wads and it would take me weeks to find the active ones with the book. Sorry
They have not been made since 1995 but were popular back in the 70's and 80's

If that doesn't work for you and you don't have any of the correct powder etc I would gladly trade them for more modern wads and hulls of your choice for reloading or buy them outright since I still reload these old girls from time to time.

I have the data scanned into either my desktop or laptop somewhere here.
If the link doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can find it for you.

worst comes to worst...................I'll dig out my box of Activ stuff and re-scan it for you.

Awesome! Thanks
 
When I bought mine, I got 2 flats of loaded ammo for $24.95 a flat (In Montana) about 30 years ago. I still have 5 boxes of the stuff that I haven't fired yet.
I bought some Activ wads a couple years after buying the loaded ammo ( I think I paid around $5 for 500 wads) Still have about 100 of the wads left.
 
I think my Lyman first addition shot shell book might also have some data

edit just looked and only has data for wanda hulls I think those were made out of hard plastic and translucent
