Description
A lot of 100 12-gauge shotgun shells, consisting of four original boxes of 25 rounds each. These Remington brand shells are categorized as Heavy Game Loads, designed for use with 2 3/4-inch chambers. According to the factory packaging, these loads feature a 3 3/4 dram equivalent and contain 1 1/4 oz of #4 shot. The cartridges are constructed with black ribbed plastic hulls and high brass-colored heads, with the shot size 4 stamped on the hull in white. Key markings prominently displayed on the cardboard boxes include Remington, Heavy Game Load, 12 GAUGE, 2 3/4 LENGTH, 3 3/4 DR.EQ., 1 1/4 OZ SHOT, 4 SHOT, and the model designation HGL12-4. The white boxes with green accents feature a distinctive illustration of a pheasant in flight, safety warnings in English and French, and the MADE IN THE U.S.A. circular logo.
Condition report:
The original cardboard packaging shows minor shelf wear, light edge scuffing, and localized soiling consistent with age and long-term storage, though the boxes remain structurally sound with clear and legible graphics. The ammunition appears to be in good, original condition with the brass-colored heads exhibiting only minor tarnish and the plastic hulls remaining intact. This ammunition appears to be live and well-preserved.
