Side panel markings indicate the cartridges are loaded with a 40-grain bullet featuring a special dry lubricant. The packaging identifies the manufacturer as the Winchester-Western Division of the Olin Corporation, with addresses in New Haven, Connecticut, and East Alton, Illinois. An internal box reveals brass-cased cartridges with a stylized intertwined W headstamp. This ammunition was marketed for superior accuracy and positive functioning in rifles. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The white cardboard brick packaging and individual 50-round boxes show moderate shelf wear including corner dings, edge fraying, and light surface staining. One end of the brick has handwritten \"231\" in blue ink and some purple ink markings. One internal box is open, but the ammunition appears to be in good, clean condition with no visible corrosion to the brass cases or lead bullets. The brick retains its structural integrity despite some minor tearing on the end flaps.
