Gun Collectors Dream Auction #86 Collector Auction
Lot 595:
Description
This lot comprises a collection of 138 rounds of 7mm TC/U ammunition and 13 empty brass casings, organized within three green plastic flip-top storage boxes. The ammunition appears to be hand-loaded and features three distinct projectile types across the containers. One container holds cartridges featuring jacketed hollow point projectiles, while a second box contains cartridges with jacketed open tip match-style bullets. The third box is loaded with jacketed soft point bullets featuring exposed lead tips. The 7mm Thompson Center/Ugalde chambering is a specialized cartridge derived from fire-forming .223 Remington brass, primarily used in metallic silhouette shooting and hunting. The brass cases exhibit the characteristic profile of the caliber, including the sharpened shoulder and neck geometry. While headstamps are present on the cartridge bases, the specific manufacturer of the parent brass is not clearly legible from the provided photographs. No manufacturer labels or caliber markings are present on the plastic storage containers.
Condition report:
The ammunition and brass casings are in good overall condition. The brass cases exhibit minor surface tarnishing and light oxidation consistent with age and storage, though they remain free of heavy corrosion or structural defects. The projectiles appear clean and are securely seated within the case mouths. The three green plastic boxes are functional with working latches and hinges, showing only minor superficial surface wear and light scratches from handling. As these appear to be hand-loaded cartridges, they are sold as components for collection or reloading purposes.
