Description

This lot consists of two 50-count boxes of Federal .38 Special (+P) high velocity ammunition, totaling 100 rounds. One 50-round box, product code 38G, contains 158 grain semi-wadcutter hollow point (SWCHP) cartridges featuring nickel-plated cases and unjacketed lead bullets, held in a white plastic tray. The second 50-round box, product code XMN38H, contains the collectible Federal Premium Nyclad 158 grain semi-wadcutter loading, which utilizes a distinctive blue nylon coating on the lead bullet to reduce lead fouling and airborne lead exposure. This box contains 50 cartridges with nickel-plated cases held in a red plastic tray. Both boxes display typical shelf wear with scuffed edges and minor fraying at the flaps, while the cartridges themselves remain in clean condition. Headstamps on both trays are consistently marked with Federal manufacturer and caliber designations. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, clean condition with no visible corrosion or significant tarnishing to the nickel-plated cases. The lead and Nyclad-coated bullets show no signs of oxidation or degradation. The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, including edge scuffing, minor surface tearing, and a handwritten price of \"13.50\" on the Nyclad box. The inner plastic trays are intact and undamaged.
