Condition report:

The plastic containers appear in good physical condition with original labels and caps intact. Labels show minor edge wear and light surface scuffing consistent with storage. While the caps are present, the original factory seals have not been verified and the powders should be inspected by the purchaser for shelf-life stability before use. The ammunition components appear live; however, mechanical performance and stability are not guaranteed.
