Description

This lot consists of a varied collection of rimfire ammunition, totaling approximately 248 rounds, primarily chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) with a smaller quantity of .22 Long Rifle (LR). The ammunition is organized across three gold-tone metal tins and two clear plastic storage wallets. The .22 WMR cartridges feature a mix of brass and nickel-plated cases, loaded with jacketed hollow point (JHP) and total metal jacket (TMJ) bullets. Visible headstamps include the “H” marking associated with Winchester/Olin and the “CCI” logo. One plastic flip-top case contains 50 rounds of brass-cased .22 WMR with copper-jacketed bullets arranged in three rows. The second plastic case contains 34 rounds of lead round nose (LRN) .22 LR cartridges. The metal containers are repurposed Hershey’s candy tins embossed with a decorative wreath and “Established 1894” text. This collection offers a mix of small-game and target rimfire rounds from established manufacturers. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears in mixed condition. Most brass and nickel-plated .22 WMR cases remain bright, though some exhibit light tarnishing or minor verdigris. The lead bullets on the .22 LR rounds show varying degrees of white oxidation (lead bloom), and several rounds exhibit darkened or blackened lead surfaces. The plastic storage cases and metal tins show light external handling wear but remain functional. The ammunition is sold as-is and has not been test-fired.
