Lot 193:
Sold for: $250
Description
This lot features a collection of 300 rounds of Remington .22 Hornet centerfire rifle ammunition, organized into six original factory boxes of 50 rounds each. The ammunition includes four boxes of 45 grain Pointed Soft Point projectiles and two boxes of 45 grain Hollow Point projectiles. These rounds represent several of Remington’s established product lines, including High Velocity, High Performance Rifle, and Express Rifle variants. Prominent markings include the headstamps on the brass casings which read R-P 22 HORNET. The ammunition is stored in its original green and yellow cardboard packaging with internal plastic or styrofoam trays. This caliber is traditionally utilized for small game and varmint hunting applications.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in good overall condition. Most brass casings retain their original luster, though some exhibit minor surface oxidation or tarnishing consistent with age and storage. The primers appear to be in good order and are free of strikes. The cardboard boxes show varying levels of shelf wear, including edge fraying, small tears, and surface scuffing. One box labeled High Velocity shows significant surface residue on the front panel. Internal plastic and styrofoam trays remain structural and intact.
