Description

This lot consists of three retail boxes of Remington Express XLR “Extra Long Range” 16-gauge shotgun ammunition, totaling a verified count of 75 plastic shotshells. Each individual box contains 25 rounds. The packaging features a distinctive green and yellow color scheme with a graphic of a pheasant in flight. Technical specifications printed on the end flaps identify these as 16-gauge, 2 3/4-inch (70mm) shells with a muzzle velocity of 1295 FPS, containing 1 1/8 ounces of #7 1/2 shot. One box is shown open, revealing five visible shells with green ribbed plastic hulls and high-brass bases. These shells are marked in black ink with “Remington”, “2 3/4 – 70mm”, and the shot size “7 1/2”. These “XLR” loads were marketed for tight patterning and hard-hitting performance at extended distances for upland game hunting. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in live, original condition. The green ribbed plastic hulls are clean and the high-brass bases show minimal to no signs of corrosion or oxidation. The cardboard retail boxes exhibit moderate shelf wear consistent with age, including scuffing, creasing, and softened edges. One box has a partially removed white price sticker on the end flap. The internal cardboard dividers appear intact.
