Bidspirit auction | A Lot of 125 Federal

A Lot of 125 Federal Gold Medal Sporting Clays Shotgun Ammunition 28 Gauge - This lot consists of 125 shotgun shells contained in five boxes of Federal Gold Medal Sporting Clays ammunition. The exterior packaging specifies the contents are 28-gauge, 2 3/4-inch shells with a 3/4 oz. load of #8 1/2 shot and a 2 dram equivalent. Key markings on the boxes include Federal, Gold Medal, SHOT SHELLS, 28 GAUGE, 8 1/2 SHOT, 3/4 OZ. SHOT, 2 DRAM EQ., SPORTING CLAYS, 2 3/4 IN. SC. 80 8.5, and 25 SHOTSHELLS/CARTOUCHES. An internal view of one box reveals red plastic-hulled shells with brass heads that bear different markings than the box labeling; verbatim hull markings include 9, 20, 3/4 OZ, 2 DRAM, and FEDERAL. This indicates that the shells contained within the 28-gauge boxes are actually 20-gauge loads with #9 shot. Prospective bidders should note this discrepancy between the packaging and the actual ammunition hulls.
