Lot 1342:
Description
This lot consists of 250 rounds of Hornady Varmint Express .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) ammunition. The ammunition is divided into five clear plastic 50-round containers, each containing cartridges featuring brass casings with a bottleneck design and polymer-tipped V-MAX bullets. The cardboard labels on each container are printed with “17 GR. V-MAX”, “Hornady”, and a stylized “17 HMR” logo. The reverse of the labels includes safety warnings regarding the 2-mile range and instructions for use. Visible headstamps on the base of the cartridges bear an impressed letter “H”, consistent with Hornady production. The V-MAX bullet is a 17-grain projectile designed for varmint hunting, featuring a red polymer tip intended to enhance accuracy and promote rapid expansion upon impact.
