Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 154:
Description
This lot consists of three factory boxes of Barnes VOR-TX LR (Long Range) centerfire rifle ammunition in .338 Remington Ultra Mag, totaling 60 rounds. Each box contains 20 cartridges loaded with 250-grain LRX BT (Long Range X Boat Tail) polymer-tipped bullets. These projectiles are engineered for extended-range performance, featuring a high ballistic coefficient and a lead-free, solid copper construction designed for deep penetration and consistent expansion. The cartridges utilize nickel-plated brass cases, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and smooth cycling. Visible headstamps on the included sample cartridge are clearly marked 338 REM ULTRA MAG. The packaging provides comprehensive ballistic data for both sea level and 5,000-foot altitudes, including trajectory, velocity, and energy specifications. The boxes are decorated with North American big game imagery, reflecting the intended hunting applications for this high-performance magnum chambering. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition and its packaging are in excellent, as-new condition. The nickel-plated cases are bright and free of oxidation, and the blue polymer tips are intact. All 60 rounds appear to be factory-loaded and live. The cardboard boxes show only negligible shelf wear, primarily limited to minor scuffing at the corners, with all structural flaps present and intact.
