Gun Collectors Dream Auction #87 General Gun Auction
Lot 4:
Description
This lot comprises ninety-six rounds of .30-30 Winchester centerfire rifle ammunition and three spent brass cases, organized within two translucent plastic storage boxes. The collection includes fifty-one rounds loaded with orange polymer-tipped projectiles, which are consistent in appearance with Hornady FTX or V-MAX designs commonly utilized for improved ballistic performance in lever-action firearms. The remaining forty-five rounds are loaded with copper-jacketed hollow point or soft point projectiles. All cartridges utilize the rimmed, bottlenecked brass cases characteristic of the .30-30 Winchester caliber. The ammunition is presented in aftermarket fifty-round reloading boxes. No manufacturer headstamps or specific loading data are clearly legible from the provided angles, suggesting these components may be hand-loaded or re-manufactured. These rounds have not been individual function-tested and should be inspected by a qualified professional before use.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good overall condition. The brass cases show minor surface tarnish and light oxidation consistent with age and long-term storage, but no significant corrosion, deep pitting, or structural damage is observed. The projectiles appear to be properly seated and free of heavy oxidation. The three empty brass cases show normal signs of firing and spent primers. The aftermarket translucent plastic storage boxes are intact with no significant cracks or damage to the hinges or latches.
