Description

This lot consists of 72 rounds of .300 Weatherby Magnum centerfire rifle ammunition, a high-velocity cartridge known for long-range hunting applications. The collection is housed in two grey plastic ammunition boxes with translucent yellow lids, each containing 36 rounds. Visual inspection and accompanying hand-written load data suggest these are reloaded cartridges. The note in one box specifies “H4831,” “83,” and “BARNES,” which likely refers to Hodgdon H4831 smokeless powder and Barnes projectiles. A second note is dated “11/21/14,” indicating the era of assembly. The cartridges feature brass casings with visible primers and copper-jacketed pointed projectiles. The brass shows varied levels of surface oxidation and age-related tarnishing throughout the lot. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition is in used, reloaded condition. The brass casings exhibit visible tarnishing and scattered surface oxidation consistent with long-term storage. Projectiles show minor surface wear and some dulling of the copper finish. The plastic storage boxes are functional with intact hinges, showing light handling marks and scuffs to the exterior. The ammunition appears to be live; however, as reloaded components, mechanical performance and pressure levels have not been tested and cannot be guaranteed.
