Lot 1306:
100 Rounds of .308 Win Ammunition
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 100 rounds of .308 Winchester ammunition. The cartridges feature brass-cased construction with copper-jacketed full metal jacket (FMJ) projectiles. Visible heat-treating discoloration (annealing) is present around the neck and shoulder area of the brass cases, which is a characteristic byproduct of the manufacturing process. The cartridges are equipped with intact, unspent primers. The base of the cartridges feature incised headstamps; visible characters in a circular arrangement on the primer pocket perimeter include 8, 3, S, and L, with the specific positioning varying between individual casings. These headstamp markings indicate the specific manufacturer and production lot, though a single spelled-out maker name is not clearly legible on the components. The ammunition appears to be in live, unissued condition.
Condition report:
The ammunition is in good overall condition. The brass casings exhibit scattered superficial oxidation, dark spotting, and minor tarnishing consistent with storage (photo 1). The copper-jacketed projectiles appear structurally sound with no visible deformation. The annealing rings at the case necks are a factory feature and not a defect. No significant corrosion or mechanical damage is visible in the provided photographs (photo 2).
