Description

This lot consists of 100 rounds of Winchester centerfire handgun ammunition from the “USA White Box” product line. The cartridges are .45 Auto caliber (commonly referred to as .45 ACP) featuring 230 grain full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets. The ammunition is housed in its original white cardboard packaging featuring the red Winchester wordmark and the iconic rider-on-horseback trademark. The front and top of the box are printed with “WINCHESTER”, “45 AUTO 230 GRAIN”, “FULL METAL JACKET”, and “TARGET”. A red banner at the base includes the printed text “MADE IN USA” alongside a French safety warning: “AVERTISSEMENT: Gardez hors de la portée des enfants. Lisez tous les avertissements sur l’emballage.”

The back of the packaging provides a detailed ballistics table for the .45 Auto loading, listing a muzzle velocity of 835 feet per second with 356 foot-pounds of energy. The reverse side also features a “PROUD SUPPORTER OF: NRA SPORTS” logo and a cutaway illustration of a full metal jacket cartridge, detailing the lead core and copper jacket construction designed for positive functioning and reduced barrel fouling. This ammunition is marketed specifically for target and range use.
