Description
This lot features a group of 70 Weatherby Magnum ammunition components, consisting of 30 live rounds and 40 empty brass casings for reloading. The items are stored in four separate Weatherby boxes: one gray Authentic Weatherby Magnum Brass Cartridge Cases box and three yellow Ultra-Velocity Ammunition boxes featuring iconic elephant artwork. The live ammunition includes .460 Weatherby Magnum rounds with round-nose soft-point bullets and .340 Weatherby Magnum rounds with spitzer-style soft-point bullets, the latter housed in a .378 Weatherby Magnum labeled box. The reloading components comprise 40 empty, unprimed brass cases for the .378 Weatherby Magnum caliber. Verbatim markings on the headstamps include WEATHERBY . 460 MAGNUM, WEATHERBY . 378 MAGNUM, and WEATHERBY 340 WBY MAG. The brass exhibits a light natural patina and minor surface tarnish. The cardboard boxes show age-appropriate shelf wear, light staining, and edge fraying.
