Description

This lot comprises a group of five original boxes of Sterling brand Big Game Series ammunition, totaling 125 rounds. Each box contains twenty-five .410 gauge shotgun shells featuring 2 1/2 inch (65 mm) plastic hulls and 1/4 oz (7.4 g) rifled slugs. Technical specifications printed on the packaging indicate a muzzle velocity of 1345 fps (410 m/s). The shells utilize red ribbed plastic hulls with high-brass colored heads. Manufacturer markings prominently displayed on the green and black cardboard boxes include the Sterling crown logo and the designations STERLING HIGH QUALITY AMMUNITION, Big Game Series, and Slug 36 Gauge .410. One box has been opened for inspection, while the others remain closed. This ammunition is suitable for field and target use in firearms chambered for 2 1/2 inch or longer .410 bore shells.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition. The red plastic hulls show some scattered dark marks and light surface residue from storage. The brass-colored heads show minor dulling but no significant corrosion. The original cardboard packaging shows light to moderate shelf wear, including softened corners, minor scuffing, and light creasing consistent with handling.
