Lot 475:
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 250 rounds of Winchester Silvertip .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire ammunition. The ammunition is housed in five individual cardboard boxes, each containing 50 rounds. These cartridges feature 40-grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets with a distinctive silver-colored jacket, a hallmark of the Silvertip line. The cartridges utilize brass cases, and each rimfire base is struck with a relief-stamped letter “W”. According to the packaging, this specific Silvertip loading is optimized for handgun performance and marketed under the “Power to Defend” line for personal defense applications. The ammunition is organized in clear plastic internal trays within the folding cardboard cartons. The packaging includes the manufacturer’s name “WINCHESTER”, the “SILVERTIP” product branding, and a “MADE IN THE USA” hexagonal logo.
