Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 25:
Description
This lot consists of 200 rounds of Remington UMC centerfire rifle ammunition chambered in .223 Remington. The cartridges are loaded with 55-grain metal case (MC) bullets, designed for high-volume range use and target practice. The ammunition is housed in white foam trays within a yellow cardboard Mega Pack box, identified by the product code L223R3A and marked as made in the USA. Key markings include the headstamps on the brass casings, which are verbatim transcribed as R-P on the upper arc and 223 REM on the lower arc, indicating manufacture by Remington-Peters. The cartridges feature standard primers, appearing with both brass and nickel-plated finishes. The ammunition is organized in 50-round trays, with one visible tray containing 49 vertically oriented cartridges and one horizontally placed round, while a desiccant pellet is positioned in the final tray slot to manage moisture.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in very good condition, showing clean brass casings with no visible signs of corrosion, oxidation, or verdigris. The primers appear properly seated, and the metal case bullets are secure within the case mouths. The exterior cardboard packaging remains intact and legible, displaying minor shelf wear consistent with handling, including light creasing and compression at the corners.
