Description

This lot consists of 32 rounds of Remington High Velocity .308 Win centerfire rifle ammunition. The cartridges feature brass casings and 150-grain pointed soft point Core-Lokt bullets. The ammunition is housed in two vintage green and yellow Remington cardboard boxes. The box ends are printed with the Remington name, caliber designation “308 WIN,” bullet specification “150 GR POINTED SOFT PT CORE-LOKT,” and model number “R308W1.” A seal on the packaging reads “MADE IN THE U.S.A.” The top of the boxes are marked “High Velocity” and “20 CENTERFIRE CARTRIDGES,” with additional warning text in English and French. The green surfaces of the boxes bear handwritten notations in black marker reading “FULL BOX – 20” and “12 – 308 SHELLS.” The cartridges are held within black plastic dividers. Visible brass headstamps are marked with “R”, “P”, “308”, and “WIN”, identifying the Remington-Peters manufacture.


Condition report:

The ammunition and packaging show signs of age and significant shelf wear. The cardboard boxes exhibit frayed edges, creases, surface abrasions, and losses to the printed surface (photo 1). There is old adhesive residue present on the top of one box. The brass casings show scattered surface oxidation and tarnish consistent with age (photo 3). The bullets and primers appear intact, though mechanical function of vintage ammunition is not verified.
