Lot 341:
Bulk Lot of 29 Lbs of 30-06 SPRG Empty Brass Casings For Reloading
Description
This lot consists of approximately 29 lbs of spent centerfire rifle cartridge casings chambered in .30-06 Springfield (.30-06 SPRG). The collection includes a mix of commercial and military surplus rimless bottlenecked brass, predominantly showing a natural brass finish with common heat-annealing discoloration visible around the neck and shoulder areas. A variety of headstamps are present throughout the lot; specific examples identified include “F C 30-06 SPRG” featuring a blue-sealed primer pocket, “S L 5 3” indicating production at the St. Louis Ordnance Plant in 1953, and “H X P 7 4” indicating Greek Powder and Cartridge Company production from 1974. The casings are once-fired or multiple-fired and are intended for reloading purposes, with spent primers still seated in the pockets. No live ammunition or projectiles are included in this lot.
Condition report:
The brass casings are in varied spent condition, exhibiting typical signs of use including surface oxidation, tarnish, and carbon fouling at the necks. Some casings show characteristic annealing marks. Most appear structurally sound for reloading, though they have not been cleaned, de-primed, or resized. Bidders should inspect for any potential cracks or defects common in bulk fired brass.
