Lot 160:
Hornady .460 S&W Magnum Empty Brass Casings in Five Factory Boxes
Description
This lot features a collection of 100 empty brass casings chambered for the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge, manufactured by Hornady. The casings are presented in five vintage-style cardboard Hornady Ammunition boxes, each originally designed to hold 20 cartridges. The tan and black boxes feature red lettering and a graphic of a shooter with a scoped rifle, bearing the commemorative name J.W. Hornady 1907-1981. This specific packaging is consistent with Hornady production from the 1980s following the founder’s passing. The brass is held within four black plastic ammunition trays, including one tray with 19 casings and three trays with 25 casings each, plus two additional loose casings, totaling 100 pieces. Verbatim headstamp markings include HORNADY at the top and 460 S&W MAG at the bottom. These spent casings are intended for reloading purposes or as collector components.
Condition report:
The brass casings are in varied used condition, exhibiting a range of natural patinas from bright yellow brass to darkened tarnish and surface oxidation. A verified count of 100 casings is present; of these, many have had the spent primers removed, while several retain spent primers. The five cardboard boxes show age-related wear including softened corners, edge scuffing, and some minor crushing to the flaps, but remains structurally intact with legible graphics and text.
