The modern loads include a box of FEDERAL TOP GUN target ammunition, 410 BORE, 2 1/2 INCHES, 1330 FPS, MAX 1/2 OUNCE 9 SHOT (Code TGS41214 9), marked “ASSEMBLED IN THE USA.” The final box is Remington EXTRA-HARD LEAD SHOT NITRO TURKEY, containing 10 PLASTIC SHOTSHELLS, marked “PROUDLY LOADED IN THE USA BY AMERICAN WORKERS,” indicating a specialized, high-performance hunting load. All boxes appear to contain their specified quantity of ammunition.
