Gun Collectors Dream Auction #84 June 13th & 14th
Lot 112:
Description
This lot consists of a bulk pack of Winchester .22 Long Rifle ammunition, totaling 555 rounds. The cartridges are loaded with 36-grain copper-plated hollow point bullets designed to achieve a muzzle velocity of 1,280 feet per second. This specific load is intended for varmint control, small game hunting, target shooting, and plinking. The ammunition is housed within its original factory color-printed cardboard bulk pack. Extensive markings on the box include the red Winchester horse and rider logo, “555 ROUNDS,” “22 LONG RIFLE,” “36 GRAIN, 1280 FPS,” and “HOLLOW POINT COPPER PLATED.” Additional text on the packaging specifies “VARMINT, SMALL GAME, TARGET & PLINKING” and “MADE IN USA,” along with safety warnings in English and French. The individual rimfire cartridges feature bright brass cases with a “SUPER” headstamp stamped on the base. The bullets have a visible hollow point cavity and a uniform copper-plated finish.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition. The brass cases remain bright and show no significant signs of oxidation or corrosion. The copper plating on the 36-grain bullets is consistent and free of damage. The original cardboard packaging shows minor shelf wear, including light creasing at the corners and some fraying along the edges of the top opening flaps, but it remains structurally sound with vibrant colors and legible text.
