Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 187:
Description
This lot consists of sixty rounds of Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertip ammunition chambered in .22-250 Remington, organized into three factory-original boxes containing twenty rounds each. These cartridges feature 40-grain Ballistic Silvertip projectiles, notable for their black Lubalox oxide coating and signature white polymer tips designed for high-velocity varmint hunting and long-range accuracy. The ammunition utilizes nickel-plated brass cases to provide smooth feeding, reliable extraction, and enhanced protection against environmental corrosion. Verbatim markings on the packaging include the Winchester and Supreme brand names, the Ballistic Silvertip designation, caliber specifications of 22-250 Rem., projectile weight of 40 Gr. Ballistic Silvertip, and the product code SBST22250A. The boxes also credit the load to Nosler and Winchester Combine Technologies. Each individual cartridge headstamp is clearly marked with WIN 22-250 REM.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in excellent, factory-original condition. The nickel-plated cases are bright and free of tarnish or oxidation. The projectiles are securely seated with the white polymer tips appearing clean and undamaged. The primers show no signs of indentation or corrosion, indicating the rounds are live and unused. The three cardboard boxes exhibit minor shelf wear and handling marks, including slight fraying and creasing at the corners and opening tabs, but remain structurally sound with sharp and legible printing.
