Description

This lot consists of 200 rounds of Winchester Varmint HV (High Velocity) Elite rimfire ammunition. The ammunition is chambered in .17 Win Super Mag (.17 WSM) and features 20-grain polymer-tipped projectiles. According to the factory packaging, these rounds are designed for a muzzle velocity of 3000 FPS and are intended for varmint and coyote hunting. The cartridges are constructed with bottlenecked brass cases and a rimfire ignition system, topped with distinctive orange polymer tips designed for rapid expansion.

The ammunition is contained in four individual cardboard boxes, each with a 50-round capacity. The black and orange packaging prominently features the Winchester horse-and-rider logo and identifies the manufacturer as Winchester. Printed text on the boxes includes VARMINT HV HIGH VELOCITY, ELITE, NEW RIMFIRE CALIBER, 17 WIN SUPER MAG, and 20 GRAIN, 3000 FPS. Safety warnings in both English and French are present on the front panel. One box is opened to reveal the cartridges organized in a white polystyrene tray. A label on the lower-left corner of the boxes reads MADE IN USA.


Condition report:

The four boxes are in good overall condition with some visible edge wear, light scuffing, and minor corner blunting consistent with handling (photos 1 and 2). The cardboard remains structurally intact with no major tears or crushing. The visible cartridges in the polystyrene tray appear clean and free of oxidation or damage to the brass cases or polymer tips (photo 3). No visible defects are noted on the ammunition itself.
