Description

This lot contains one vintage box of Federal Hi-Power brand centerfire pistol cartridges, chambered in .44 Remington Magnum. The box features 20 rounds of ammunition loaded with 240-grain hollow soft point bullets, designated by Federal as product number 44A. The packaging consists of the classic red and white Federal box with the distinctive diagonal gold and white stripe pattern. Prominent markings on the end flap include Federal branding and technical specifications: 44 REM. MAGNUM, 240 GRAIN, NO. 44A, and HOLLOW SOFT PT. BULLET. The rear of the box provides safety warnings in English and French, manufacturer information for Federal Cartridge Corp. of Minneapolis, MN 55402, and a lot number stamped as LOT 1 S A – 6 4 2 7. The presence of a barcode and the Minneapolis ZIP code suggest production in the late 20th century. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in its original factory shrink-wrap, which has preserved the box well. The cardboard shows minor shelf wear, including some scuffing and light crushing at the corners and edges visible beneath the plastic. The ammunition itself is not visible for inspection but is assumed to be in original, live condition based on the intact factory packaging.
