Condition report:
The packaging for these reloading components shows signs of age and shelf wear. The green Sierra cardboard box exhibits significant scuffing, edge wear, and some crushing at the corners. The yellow Speer plastic box is missing its original latching tab and is currently secured with blue painter\'s tape. The black Speer TNT box is in good condition with minor surface scuffing. The projectiles themselves appear to be in good, usable condition; the Speer 125 grain and 110 grain bullets retain a bright copper finish, while the Sierra 170 grain bullets show a mild patina or light oxidation on the copper jackets and lead tips consistent with long-term storage in cardboard.
