Description

This lot comprises a verified total of 425 rounds of .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) ammunition, partitioned between two major US manufacturers. Included are four boxes of Hornady V-MAX ammunition, each labeled as 17 grain with a polymer tip. Two Hornady boxes are in a horizontal orientation and two are vertical; one box prominently displays a black ink-stamped lot number of A21D301. Also included are five boxes of Winchester Varmint HV ammunition, similarly featuring 17 grain V-MAX polymer-tipped projectiles. The Winchester rounds are held in distinctive translucent red plastic cases with black and red labeling specifying a muzzle velocity of 2,550 FPS. All rounds utilized in this lot are brass-cased and feature the red polymer tip characteristic of the V-MAX projectile designed for rapid expansion. While the packaging for both brands suggests a standard 50-round capacity per box, visual inspection of the partially filled translucent Winchester cases confirms a total verified count of 425 rounds across the nine individual containers.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition with clean brass casings and intact polymer tips. The plastic packaging shows minor shelf wear, including surface scuffing and small scratches, but remains structurally sound. Several of the Winchester boxes are only partially full, missing multiple columns of rounds, resulting in the verified total of 425 rounds rather than a full 450-round count.
