Lot 310:
A Collection of 79 Rounds of Hornady and Remington .222 Remington Centerfire Rifle Ammunition
Description
This lot consists of a verified total of 79 centerfire rifle cartridges in .222 Remington caliber, presented in four commercial boxes. The collection features three 20-round boxes of Hornady Superformance Varmint ammunition, totaling 60 rounds, loaded with 50-grain V-MAX bullets featuring red polymer tips. The Hornady boxes are marked with product code #8316 and indicate the use of specialized powders to achieve increased muzzle velocity. Also included is a vintage 20-round box of Remington High Performance Rifle ammunition, originally intended for 50-grain Pointed Soft Point (PSP) bullets. Internal examination of the Remington box reveals 19 cartridges in a black plastic tray, including a mix of original Remington R-P 222 REM headstamped soft point rounds and several Hornady 222 REM polymer-tipped rounds. Headstamps across the lot include HORNADY 222 REM and R-P 222 REM.
Condition report:
The three Hornady boxes are in good condition with minor shelf wear and intact factory labeling. The Remington box shows significant age-related wear, including fraying at the edges, surface scuffing, and tears at the corner flaps. Cartridge cases are brass and generally bright, though some of the vintage Remington rounds show light surface oxidation and dulling of the finish consistent with long-term storage. Primers appear seated correctly and undented.
