Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 265:
Description
This bulk lot contains a total of 250 .308 Winchester caliber brass shell casings intended for reloading purposes. The collection is anchored by one original Winchester factory bag containing 50 new, unprimed shellcases, which is clearly labeled 308 WINCHESTER UNPRIMED SHELLCASE 50 EA with the model designation WSC308WU and UPC 020892532104. The remainder of the 250 brass casings consists of approximately 200 once-fired used casings of mixed manufacture. Prominent headstamps visible throughout the bulk bags include markings for NORMA 308 WIN, WIN 308 WIN, and F C 308 WIN, identifying them as products of Norma, Winchester, and Federal Cartridge respectively. These components are standard for the handloading of .308 Winchester ammunition and offer a varied selection for the reloader.
Condition report:
The 50 Winchester cases in the factory bag are in new, unprimed condition but exhibit minor surface tarnishing consistent with long-term storage. The bulk quantities of once-fired brass show typical signs of use, including spent primers and carbon residue at the case mouth and neck. Surface oxidation and general tarnishing are present across all components in the lot. These are inert brass components only and do not contain live primers or powder.
