Lot 25:
Description
This lot features 150 rounds of Winchester brand 5.56mm NATO M855 Green Tip ammunition intended for target use. The cartridges are loose-packed within a Winchester-branded cardboard container and consist of 62-grain full metal jacket bullets with a specified muzzle velocity of 3060 feet per second. Each round features a brass casing with visible annealing marks at the shoulder and neck, and the projectiles are identified by their characteristic green-painted tips indicating a steel penetrator core. The outer packaging includes prominent printed markings such as WINCHESTER, TARGET, 5.56mm 62 GRAIN, 3060 FPS FULL METAL JACKET, and M855 GREEN TIP. The box further identifies the manufacturer as OLIN WINCHESTER, LLC, located at 600 Powder Mill Rd, East Alton, IL 62024, and includes the MADE IN USA designation alongside the Olin trademark and company website.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in live, factory-original condition. The brass casings are clean with no evidence of corrosion or significant tarnishing, and the green painted tips remain largely intact across the lot. The cardboard box shows moderate shelf wear consistent with age and handling, including scuffing at the edges, minor corner crushing, and clear adhesive tape applied across the primary face and sides.
