Description
This lot features a collection of 279 rounds of .25 Auto (6.35mm Browning) centerfire pistol ammunition from various manufacturers, primarily featuring 50 grain full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets. The group includes one 50-round box of Herter’s Select Grade with brass cases, an Aguila 50-round box of 50 grain FMJ, a Magtech 50-round box, and a Winchester Super-X 50-round box. Additionally, the lot contains two white boxes, each labeled for 50 cartridges of 25 Auto (6.35 mm) 50 gr. Full Metal Case and marked as Made in USA. Visual inspection confirms 49 cartridges housed in a black plastic tray with CBC 25 AUTO headstamps, and 30 cartridges in a red plastic tray bearing WIN 25 AUTO headstamps. This caliber was famously designed by John Browning in 1905 for the FN M1905 pocket pistol and remains a standard for small vest-pocket firearms. The packaging includes various eras of branding, such as the Winchester Super-X box which displays a $11.56 price sticker. Note – All ammunition requires a federal 4473 background check.
