Lot 442:
Lot of 93 Rounds Federal .338 Federal Rifle Ammunition with 7 Brass Casings
Description
This auction lot consists of a collection of 93 live rounds of .338 Federal centerfire rifle ammunition and seven spent brass casings, presented across five original commercial boxes. The collection includes two boxes of Federal American Eagle 185 grain soft point ammunition, two boxes of Federal Fusion MSR 185 grain ammunition, and one box of Federal Fusion 200 grain ammunition. A physical count verifies the presence of 20 rounds of 200 grain Fusion, 40 rounds of 185 grain Fusion MSR, and 33 rounds of 185 grain American Eagle soft point ammunition, totaling 93 live rounds. The cartridges feature brass cases and jacketed soft-point projectiles designed for hunting and sporting applications. The cartridges display “F C 338 FEDERAL” headstamps, consistent with Federal Cartridge production. The packaging includes modern cardboard folding cartons with varying degrees of shelf wear, including surface abrasions, scuffing, and partially removed adhesive retail labels. The .338 Federal cartridge, introduced in 2006 as a joint project between Federal Cartridge and Sako, is based on a necked-up .308 Winchester case.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good, shootable condition with clean brass cases and factory-seated projectiles. No significant corrosion or green verdigris was observed on the live rounds. The spent brass casings show expected carbon fouling at the necks and mouths from firing. The cardboard boxes show moderate handling wear, including creasing at the corners, edge fraying, and some surface tearing on the Fusion 200 grain box due to label removal.
