This lot comprises 150 rounds of Winchester Super-X .22 Hornet ammunition, consisting of three boxes of 50 rounds each. One box is designated as 45 grain soft point cartridges with the product code X22H1, while the remaining two boxes contain 46 grain hollow point cartridges with the product code X22H2. The ammunition features brass casings with copper-jacketed projectiles. One box is pictured open, showing 50 rounds seated in a protective styrofoam tray. Prominent markings on the packaging include Winchester Super-X, 22 Hornet, 45 Gr. Soft Point, and 46 Gr. Hollow Point, along with the manufacturer’s horse and rider logo. Verbatim transcription of the headstamps on the individual rounds reveals the marks W-W, SUPER, and 22 HORNET. The ammunition is housed in its original grey cardboard packaging, which features specific varmint illustrations corresponding to the caliber’s intended use.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in good condition, with the cartridges appearing to be factory-loaded and live. The brass casings and copper-jacketed bullets show minor natural oxidation and surface tarnishing consistent with age. The cardboard boxes exhibit moderate shelf wear, including scuffs, creasing at the edges, and small tears at some corners. There are handwritten numerical markings and ink scribbles visible on the exterior panels of the boxes.
