Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 1249:
Description
This lot consists of 100 rounds of .44 Remington Magnum ammunition organized in two smoke-colored translucent plastic flip-top storage boxes. The ammunition features a mix of bullet profiles including jacketed hollow point and semi-wadcutter designs. The cartridges are primarily brass-cased, though a small number of nickel-plated cases are included in the assortment. The storage containers are original MTM Case-Gard 50-round boxes, which are marked CASE-GARD 50 on the lids. A variety of manufacturers are represented in this collection. Key markings on the headstamps include F C 44 REM MAG, MIDWAY 44 REM MAG, W-W SUPER 44 REM MAG, R-P 44 REM MAG, and PPU 44 REM MAG. The mixed nature of the headstamps and bullet types suggests this lot is composed of various commercial factory loads or potentially handloaded ammunition.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in overall good condition, though it displays characteristics consistent with long-term storage. The brass cartridge cases show varying degrees of surface tarnish and light oxidation, while the nickel-plated cases remain relatively bright. The bullets appear well-seated, though some lead surfaces on the semi-wadcutter profiles show mild oxidation. The MTM plastic storage boxes are functional and in good condition, with light surface scuffing from handling.
