Lot 287:
Description
This lot comprises two 1-lb polymer containers of Hodgdon H322 Extreme rifle powder, totaling 2lbs of smokeless propellant. Designed for consistent performance across varying temperatures, this powder is a popular choice for benchrest shooters and small-caliber rifle enthusiasts. The black bottles feature labels with light blue borders and the manufacturer’s logo and slogan, “HODGDON THE BRAND THAT’S TRUE.” Each label includes a “RELOADING DATA CENTER” table providing recommended load specifications for calibers including 17 Rem., 222 Rem., 223 Rem., 22 PPC, 6mm PPC, and 6mm BR Rem. Safety warnings are prominent, stating “DANGER EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE” and advising that maximum loads must not be exceeded. The labels also note “Quality Propellants For Over 60 Years” and direct users to the manufacturer’s website for comprehensive data. These containers appear to be sealed with their original black screw-top caps. Note – As ammunition components, these items do not require a background check for purchase, though they must be handled according to all applicable safety regulations.
Condition report:
Both 1-lb containers appear to be in excellent, unopened condition with factory seals intact. The black polymer bottles are structurally sound without dents or leaks. The labels are clean, fully legible, and well-adhered, showing only minimal shelf wear at the edges. The powder inside is assumed to be in new, usable condition based on the sealed state of the packaging.
