Lot 127:
A Lot of 44 Weatherby and Federal .300 Weatherby Magnum Ammunition
Sold for: $75
Description
This lot consists of forty-four rounds of .300 Weatherby Magnum ammunition contained within three individual boxes. The collection includes two vintage Weatherby Ultra-Velocity Ammunition boxes, featuring the distinctive tiger graphic, and one Federal Premium Safari box. The Weatherby boxes contain twenty-four cartridges with mixed headstamps including WEATHERBY .300 MAGNUM and REM-UMC .300, featuring brass cases and soft-point bullets. Handwritten notations on the Weatherby boxes, such as 200 GR BARNES and 72 GR IMR 4350, indicate that these cartridges are likely handloads rather than factory original ammunition. The Federal Premium box contains twenty cartridges featuring nickel-plated cases headstamped F C 300 WEATHERBY MAG and soft-point bullets. This ammunition is designed for use in rifles chambered for the .300 Weatherby Magnum caliber.
Condition report:
The ammunition cases exhibit minor tarnish and surface oxidation consistent with age and storage. The nickel-plated cases in the Federal box show light shelf wear. The cardboard boxes exhibit varying degrees of moderate to heavy wear, including edge abrasions, small tears, and significant handwritten notations in ink and marker. The Weatherby boxes show some structural compromise at the corners and flaps. While the ammunition appears to be live, the presence of handloads necessitates that these rounds be inspected by a qualified professional before any attempt at use.
