Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 1513:
Description
This lot consists of 102 rounds of .22-250 Remington centerfire ammunition, organized within two plastic storage cases. The collection contains 50 rounds fitted with copper-jacketed hollow-point bullets and 52 rounds featuring orange polymer-tipped ballistic tip projectiles. The ammunition appears to be hand-loaded, as evidenced by the mixed headstamps and a handwritten load data label inside the blue case lid that specifies 50 gr BT and 30 gr H335, indicating the bullet weight and Hodgdon powder charge used. Key markings transcribed from the headstamps include Winchester-Western W-W 22-250 REM and Remington REM 22-250 REM. The brass cases show minor surface tarnish and light oxidation consistent with age and storage, while the plastic cases are in good functional condition. These rounds are designed for use in rifles chambered for the .22-250 Remington cartridge, though due to their nature as hand-loads, they are offered as components for reloading purposes.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in overall good condition, appearing stable and well-preserved. The brass cases exhibit a light, uniform tarnish typical of stored ammunition, but remain free of heavy corrosion, pitting, or structural defects. All primers are intact and appear properly seated. The projectiles are securely crimped, and the orange polymer tips show no significant deformation or degradation. The green and blue plastic storage cases show minor external scuffing from handling, but the hinges and latches remain fully intact and functional.
