Description

This lot features 40 rounds of Winchester centerfire rifle ammunition chambered in .300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM). The collection is comprised of two original 20-round boxes representing two distinct high-performance product lines. One box contains Winchester Supreme Elite ammunition loaded with 150-grain XP3 polymer-tipped bullets, while the second box contains Winchester Supreme AccuBond CT (Combined Technology) ammunition featuring 180-grain bonded bullets. Developed by Winchester in 2001, the .300 WSM is a short-action magnum cartridge designed to deliver ballistics comparable to the .300 Winchester Magnum in a more compact format. The cartridges feature nickel-plated casings to enhance corrosion resistance and cycle reliably. Verbatim markings on the boxes include 300 WINCHESTER SHORT MAGNUM, SUPREME ELITE, 150 GR. XP3, and ACCUBOND CT 300 WSM 180 GR. BONDED. Visible headstamps are marked WINCHESTER 300 WSM.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in very good, live condition with clean nickel-plated casings and intact polymer tips. No significant corrosion or oxidation is visible on the brass or primers. The cardboard packaging shows moderate shelf wear, including creasing at the corners, edge wear, and some minor tearing to the end flaps, consistent with age and storage.
