Description

This lot features a collection of 75 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, comprised of three distinct 25-round boxes. The group includes one box of Winchester Super-X Upland & Small Game “Game Load,” containing 2.75-inch shells with 1 ounce of #7 1/2 shot and a listed velocity of 1290 FPS. The remaining two boxes are Winchester Western “Target and Field Loads,” each designated for 2.75-inch shells with 1 1/8 ounces of #7 1/2 lead shot and a velocity of 1145 FPS. One Western box contains a uniform set of red plastic shells with silver-colored metal heads, while the second Western box contains a mixture of red Winchester shells and orange-colored Fiocchi-branded shells with brass-colored heads. The Super-X box contains red shells with brass-colored heads. Verbatim markings on the Super-X packaging include “WINCHESTER SUPER X GAME LOAD 12 GAUGE 2 3/4 INCHES 1290 VELOCITY 1 OZ. 7 1/2 SHOT.” The Western boxes are marked “WINCHESTER Western TARGET AND FIELD LOADS 12 GAUGE 2 3/4 INCHES 1145 FPS 1 1/8 OZ. 7 1/2 LEAD SHOT.” Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The exterior cardboard packaging for all three boxes shows significant wear, including creasing, tearing at the corners and flaps, edge abrasions, and visible tape residue on the Super-X box. The ammunition appears to be in functional condition; however, the shells in the Super-X box show some darkening and patina to the metal heads. One Western box contains a non-factory mixture of Winchester and Fiocchi branded shells. The lots are sold as-is and have not been function-tested.
