Lot 1378:
Group of Browning BPT Performance Target 16 Gauge Shotgun Ammunition Boxes
Description
A group of five Browning BPT (Browning Performance Target) shotgun ammunition boxes. Each box is identified for 16 gauge and contains technical specifications including 2 3/4 inch shell length, 1 ounce shot weight, 2 3/4 dram equivalent powder charge, a velocity of 1165 feet per second, and #8 shot size. The black and orange packaging features the Browning buck head logo and the prominent vertical text “BPT PERFORMANCE TARGET”. The shells are constructed with black ribbed plastic hulls and brass-colored metal bases. The hulls bear a gold-tone Browning buck logo and are marked “2 3/4 IN – 1 1/8 – 8 GAME LOAD”. While the exterior packaging identifies the load as 1 ounce, the printed markings on the visible shells within the open box indicate a 1 1/8 ounce game load.
Condition report:
The ammunition boxes show minor shelf wear consistent with handling, including small creases and light scuffing at the corners and edges (photo 1). One box is shown open, revealing five shells positioned with the brass bases alternating between the top and bottom of the box; the hulls show minor surface dust and light handling marks on the gold-tone lettering (photo 2). No major structural damage to the boxes or significant oxidation on the metal shell bases is visible in the provided images.
