Lot 1063:
Description
This lot contains a verified total of 22 rounds of .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition manufactured by Sellier & Bellot. The cartridges are presented in three original red and yellow cardboard boxes, each designed for a 10-round capacity. Technical specifications on the packaging identify the load as “MATCH” grade, featuring 250-grain (16.2 g) Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) projectiles, cataloged under product No. 2650. The cartridges utilize brass casings with copper-jacketed projectiles. Key markings on the box include the manufacturer “Sellier & Bellot,” the caliber “.338 LAPUA MAG.,” and “MATCH” in large block lettering. The cartridge headstamps are marked “S & B” and “.338 LAPUA MAG.” The reverse of the boxes includes technical data and a UPC barcode. One box has a handwritten notation “22 Count” in black marker, which corresponds to the verified physical count of the lot.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good overall condition. The brass casings generally retain a bright finish, although one visible cartridge displays significant dark oxidation and tarnish at the neck and shoulder area. The projectiles appear seated correctly. The cardboard packaging shows shelf wear including scuffs, edge thinning, and minor crushing, with handwritten marker notations on the top box. The rounds appear to be live and functional, though they have not been test-fired.
