Description
This lot consists of a collection of 162 loose handgun cartridges featuring a variety of calibers and projectile types. The assortment includes centerfire ammunition chambered in .357 Magnum, .38 Special, and .44 Remington Magnum, alongside .22 caliber rimfire rounds. Prominent markings transcribed from the cartridge headstamps include F C 44 REM MAG for Federal Cartridge, S&B 357 MAGNUM for Sellier and Bellot, and R-P 38 SPL for Remington-Peters, while the rimfire cartridges bear the REM mark on the base. The collection features a mixture of casing materials, including standard brass and nickel-plated finishes, loaded with different projectile styles such as lead round nose and jacketed soft point bullets. This diverse grouping of ammunition appears to be sourced from multiple manufacturers and production batches.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in mixed condition, showing signs of age and storage. Many of the lead projectiles exhibit visible oxidation and a white powdery residue, while the brass and nickel-plated casings show varying levels of tarnishing and minor surface wear. The primers are intact and appear unspent. This ammunition has not been function-tested, and its ballistic reliability or safety cannot be guaranteed.
