Description

This lot consists of a collection of Hornady Varmint Express .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) ammunition, totaling approximately 363 rounds. The ammunition features 17-grain V-MAX bullets characterized by their distinctive red polymer tips and boat-tail design, intended for high-velocity varmint hunting applications. The rounds are housed in eight transparent plastic 50-round dispenser boxes. Based on a physical count, the collection includes five full boxes of 50 rounds, one partially filled box containing 13 rounds, and two boxes containing loose or jumbled cartridges totaling approximately 100 rounds. The cartridges utilize brass cases with the “H” headstamp, signifying manufacture for Hornady. The red paper labels bear prominent markings including “Hornady”, “17 HMR”, “17 GR. V-MAX”, and the item number “83170”. Packaging also indicates the ammunition was “Made in the USA” and provides a range warning of 2 miles or 3 kilometers. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, usable condition with no significant signs of corrosion or oxidation visible on the brass cases or polymer tips. The plastic dispenser boxes show varying degrees of external shelf wear, including surface scratches, dust, and adhesive residue from tape or previous retail pricing. One box retains a partial purple \"ACE PRICE\" sticker. The labels are mostly intact with some minor fraying or edge wear consistent with storage and handling. The ammunition is believed to be live, though it has not been function-tested.
