Lot 139:
Description
This lot features 200 rounds of CCI A17 .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) ammunition. This specific loading is optimized for the Savage Arms A17 rifle and features a 17-grain polymer-tipped Varmint Tip projectile designed for rapid expansion. According to the packaging, this load is rated at a muzzle velocity of 2650 FPS, which is noted as being 100 FPS faster than standard .17 HMR loads. The ammunition is housed in its original 200-round cardboard bulk box, with cartridges organized in internal plastic grids. Each cartridge features a brass rimfire casing with a headstamp consisting of a capital letter C impressed into the base. The back of the box includes a detailed ballistics table listing performance data for velocity and energy at the muzzle, 50 yards, and 100 yards, and identifies the product as Part No. 949CC. The exterior of the box prominently displays Savage Arms and CCI branding, along with an illustration of the A17 semi-automatic rifle.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in excellent, unused condition with clean brass casings and intact polymer tips (photo 3). The cardboard packaging shows light shelf wear, including minor scuffing to the printed surfaces, slight fraying at the corners, and a small tear on the top flap (photo 1). The internal plastic dividers are intact and hold the cartridges securely.
