Description
This lot consists of a full brick containing 500 rounds of .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) ammunition manufactured by CCI. The cartridges are the TNT Varmint load, featuring a 17-grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) projectile designed for rapid expansion. Factory ballistics indicate a muzzle velocity of 2,550 FPS and 245 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, tapering to 1,757 FPS and 116 ft-lbs at 100 yards. The ammunition is organized into ten individual clear plastic dispenser boxes of 50 rounds each, all housed within the original cardboard outer brick packaging. The outer box is marked as Part No. 53 and contains a detailed ballistics table on the reverse. One of the plastic dispenser boxes bears a black ink-stamped lot number of M07X34. This ammunition is intended for varmint hunting and target applications.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in its original retail packaging. The cardboard outer box shows moderate shelf wear, including scuffing, edge fraying, and areas of white surface residue or oxidation. The ten clear plastic dispenser boxes remain intact but exhibit similar white oxidation and localized scuffing on the exterior surfaces. The brass cases and copper-jacketed hollow point projectiles visible through the packaging appear bright and clean, showing no signs of significant corrosion or degradation. The ammunition appears to be in live, usable condition.
