Gun Collectors Dream Auction #86 Collector Auction
Lot 1036:
Description
This lot consists of 80 rounds of Hornady LEVERevolution centerfire rifle ammunition chambered in .348 Winchester. The ammunition is distributed across four original retail boxes, with each box containing 20 cartridges. These rounds are loaded with 200-grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullets, which feature a signature red polymer tip designed to provide a higher ballistic coefficient while remaining safe for use in tubular magazine lever-action rifles. The cartridges utilize high-quality bottlenecked brass casings with Boxer primers. Verbatim headstamp markings on the base of the cartridges read HORNADY 348 WIN, and the manufacturer product number 82738 is clearly visible on the packaging end flaps. This ammunition is specifically engineered to modernize the performance of classic lever guns by offering flatter trajectories and increased terminal energy at range compared to traditional flat-nose ammunition designs.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in factory-new, live condition with no signs of corrosion or oxidation on the brass casings. The red polymer tips are intact and show no signs of degradation or damage. The four silver and red cardboard boxes exhibit minor shelf wear and light scuffing at the corners but remain structurally sound with all graphics and text clearly legible.
