Description

This lot consists of 40 rounds of Sellier & Bellot 7 x 65R centerfire rifle ammunition, housed in two original factory boxes of 20 rounds each. These rimmed, brass-cased cartridges feature a Soft Point Cutting Edge (SPCE) projectile weighing 11.2 grams (173 grains), specifically identified by the manufacturer’s part number 2932. The packaging displays a green and yellow color scheme with the manufacturer’s name “Sellier & Bellot” prominently featured. Verbatim markings on the boxes specify “SPCE”, “11,2 g”, “173 grs”, “No. 2932”, and the caliber designation “7 x 65R”. Each cartridge base is struck with a headstamp that can be transcribed verbatim as “S&B 7×65 R”. The interior flap of one box bears the stamped numeric sequence “186-21”. The cartridges are seated in individual plastic trays designed for secure storage and transport.


Condition report:

The ammunition is in good condition, with the brass cases showing a light, natural tarnish and minor surface patina consistent with age and storage. The Soft Point Cutting Edge projectiles appear intact and free of significant oxidation. The cartridges appear to be live factory rounds. The two cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including scuffing, edge fraying, and minor tearing to the surface paper, particularly on the top yellow sections where some adhesive residue and peeling are visible.
