Gun Collectors Dream Auction #86 Collector Auction
Lot 247:
Description
This lot consists of 300 rounds of remanufactured .218 Bee centerfire ammunition presented in six plastic storage cases, accompanied by five empty brass cases. The ammunition is composed of brass from various manufacturers, as evidenced by the clearly legible headstamps which include W-W SUPER 218 BEE, SUPER SPEED 218 BEE, REM-UMC 218 BEE, and SUPER-X 218 BEE. The projectiles are a mixture of jacketed hollow point and soft point variants. The lot includes ammunition with varying primer sealant colors, specifically blue and green, indicating different loading batches or component sources. The rounds are organized within clear and tinted plastic ammunition boxes.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in fair to good condition overall. The brass casings show minor surface tarnish consistent with handled components and remanufacturing. One box of ammunition exhibits significant white powdery oxidation, known as lead bloom, on the exposed lead tips of the projectiles. The remaining rounds appear clean and functionally viable. The plastic storage cases are intact but show some scuffing and dust from storage.
