Yes it was. If you look closely at the first picture, about 2 feet to the right of Grandpa's head you can see the Rem green hull in the air. It was a Remington Wingmaster HD BB 12 ga 3" factory load. At that time I would have never believed how good Federal Heavyweight 15g/cc #2 shot and TSS 18g/cc #2,#3 and #4 shot were going to be.
