Description

This lot comprises two boxes containing a verified total of 70 rounds of .308 Winchester ammunition featuring specialized subsonic loadings. The first box is a 50-round factory box of Atomic Ammunition .308 Win Match Subsonic, featuring 175-grain Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) Sierra MatchKing bullets. Atomic Ammunition specifications for this load indicate a velocity of 1050 FPS and energy of 428 Ft-Lbs, utilizing new brass cases. Visible headstamps on the Atomic cartridges are marked G.F.L. 308 WIN, signifying manufacture by Giulio Fiocchi of Lecco, Italy. The second box is a Hornady Tactical Application Police (TAP) Law Enforcement Ammunition box which contains 20 rounds of .308 Winchester ammunition. While housed in a Hornady TAP box, a handwritten adhesive label indicates a custom or modified loading consisting of Sierra GameKing 165-grain SBT (Spitzer Boat Tail) bullets, 8.0 grains of Trail Boss powder, and #250 primers, also designated as subsonic. The Hornady box cartridges feature silver-colored primers and soft-point projectiles, with headstamps marked HORNADY 308 WIN MATCH. Both boxes include plastic grid inserts for cartridge organization.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition with clean brass cases and no significant corrosion or oxidation visible on the projectiles or primers. The cardboard packaging for both Atomic and Hornady boxes shows moderate shelf wear, including edge scuffing, minor creasing, and small tears at the corners and flaps. The Hornady box has an aftermarket white adhesive label with handwritten load data applied to one side. We have not function-tested this ammunition.
