Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1414:
Description
This lot consists of 40 rounds of Hornady Custom brand centerfire rifle ammunition chambered in 300 Weatherby Magnum. The ammunition is housed in two original cardboard folding boxes, each with a 20-round capacity. The boxes feature vintage-style design elements, including a sepia-toned portrait of the company founder, J.W. Hornady (1907-1981), and the company’s "Accurate. Deadly. Dependable." slogan. The cartridges are loaded with 150-grain InterBond projectiles, which are identified by their distinctive red polymer tips designed for controlled expansion.
The iridescent end labels on the boxes provide the technical specifications, including the product number #82219, "300 WBY MAG", and "150 gr InterBond". Visible cartridge headstamps are clearly marked "HORNADY 300 WBY MAG", confirming the manufacturer and caliber. The ammunition utilizes brass casings and is intended for high-velocity hunting applications. Hornady, based in Grand Island, Nebraska, introduced the Custom line to provide factory-loaded ammunition with the performance characteristics of hand-loaded rounds.
