Lot of 100 Rounds Federal Game Load 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells #8 Shot
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 100 rounds of Federal brand Game Load 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, divided into four original 25-round cardboard boxes. These vintage 2 3/4 inch shotshells are loaded with 1 ounce of #8 lead shot and a 3 1/4 dram equivalent powder charge, intended for small game and field use. The individual shells feature red ribbed plastic hulls with low-brass colored heads and are marked with the manufacturer name, shot size, and load specifications. The period packaging displays a classic blue and white design with a pheasant illustration and prominent Federal branding. Visible markings on the boxes specify the gauge, shot weight, and shot size, along with model number F121 and two distinct lot numbers: 7264 and 5304. The side panels include a suggested shot size chart for various game including quail, dove, and squirrels.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, original condition with no significant corrosion visible on the brass heads or plastic hulls. The cardboard boxes show visible signs of age and shelf wear, including edge fraying, scuffing, surface staining, and minor structural deformation. Two of the boxes have been reinforced with blue painter\'s tape on the top and side panels. One box bears an auction inventory sticker. The shells appear to be live; however, mechanical function and performance are not guaranteed.
