Description
This lot consists of two partial boxes of Remington brand 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, totaling 43 verified rounds. The first group includes 18 rounds of Remington HyperSonic Steel waterfowl loads. These 3 1/2-inch shells are 1 3/8 oz. of #2 steel shot, rated at a velocity of 1700 FPS. The green plastic shells feature high brass bases and are marked with “HYPERSONIC,” “1700 FPS,” and “MAX 1050 BAR.” The second group includes 25 rounds of Remington Express Long Range loads. These 2 3/4-inch shells are loaded with 1 1/4 oz. of #6 lead shot with a 3 3/4 dram equivalent. These shells are marked “EXPRESS,” “1 1/4 – 6,” “Remington,” and “2 3/4 – 70mm.” Both sets of ammunition are contained within their original, though worn, commercial packaging.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in shootable condition, although the brass bases on several shells exhibit visible oxidation and surface tarnish. The plastic hulls remain intact without significant deformation. The original cardboard boxes show heavy shelf wear, including scuffing, creasing, and minor tearing at the corners and flaps. One box is missing its top closure flap.
