Lot 490:
Description
This lot features 100 rounds of factory-loaded .22 Hornet centerfire rifle cartridges manufactured by Prvi Partizan (PPU) as part of their Rifle Line Ammunition series. The ammunition is housed in two blue cardboard boxes, each originally containing 50 rounds. These cartridges are loaded with 45-grain (2.9 gram) lead-tipped soft point (SP) projectiles seated in brass casings. One box is open, revealing an internal cardboard grid holding the full complement of 50 rounds. The headstamps on the brass casings are clearly marked with the manufacturer designation PPU at the top and the caliber 22 HORNET at the bottom. The packaging includes the manufacturer’s product code PP22H and provides specifications in both Imperial and Metric units. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in clean, factory-original condition with no visible signs of corrosion or oxidation on the brass casings or lead bullet tips. The blue cardboard boxes show minor shelf wear, including some light scuffing and crushing at the corners, consistent with storage and handling. Both boxes remain structurally intact, with one having been opened for inspection.
