Lot 1348:
Description
A lot of 333 rounds of Winchester .22 Long Rifle ammunition featuring 36-grain copper-plated hollow point (CPHP) bullets. This lot is part of the Winchester USA 250 Years Limited Series, specifically designated as 5 of 9, which serves as a tribute to the American Legacy and features artwork honoring American firefighters. The ammunition is intended for target and small game use, utilizing brass shellcases and modern propellants designed to reduce barrel fouling. Prominent markings on the commemorative packaging include the stylized Winchester W logo, Target and Small Game branding, and the USA 250 Years seal. Verbatim text on the front specifies 22 LR, 36 GR, and 333 ROUNDS, while the reverse panel features a QR code and a We the People graphic. Each individual cartridge is finished with a stylized W headstamp on the base.
Condition report:
The commemorative cardboard packaging is in good condition, showing minor shelf wear consistent with handling such as lightly blunted corners and faint surface scuffs. The ammunition appears to be clean and live, with no evidence of corrosion, tarnish, or verdigris on the brass cases or the copper-plated projectiles. The headstamps remain crisp and legible.
