Gun Collectors Dream Auction #84 June 13th & 14th
Lot 103:
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 178 empty spent brass ammunition cartridge cases chambered in .303 British caliber, intended for reloading purposes. The collection includes a group of loose cases and a large quantity held within a clear plastic storage bag. The casings are of a rimmed, bottleneck design consistent with military and sporting specifications for the caliber. Verbatim headstamp markings include PPU 303 BRIT for Prvi Partizan, F C 303 BRITISH for the Federal Cartridge Company, and HXP markings. These items are in spent condition with the original fired primers still seated in the pockets. The lot is designed for handloading enthusiasts seeking HXP and other quality brass components for the .303 British cartridge.
Condition report:
The brass cartridge cases are in spent, as-fired condition. Surface tarnish and varied levels of oxidation are present across the collection, consistent with once-fired brass. Primers show clear firing pin indentations and remain seated in the primer pockets. Rims and case mouths appear generally intact, though standard preparation including cleaning, resizing, and trimming will be required before these components are suitable for reloading.
