This lot consists of 200 rounds of Winchester Varmint HE (High Energy) Elite ammunition in 17 Win Super Mag caliber. The cartridges feature 25-grain copper-jacketed projectiles with grey polymer tips, designed for high-velocity varmint and coyote hunting. The ammunition is housed in four original 50-round cardboard boxes with internal protective polystyrene trays. The packaging is clearly printed with “WINCHESTER” and the brand’s horse and rider logo. Additional markings on the boxes include “VARMINT HE HIGH ENERGY”, “ELITE”, “NEW RIMFIRE CALIBER”, “VARMINT & COYOTE”, and “17 WIN SUPER MAG 25 GRAIN, 2600 FPS POLYMER TIP”. The boxes also bear “MADE IN USA” and bilingual safety warnings in English and French: “WARNING: Keep out of reach of children. Read all warnings on package. / AVERTISSEMENT: Gardez hors de la portée des enfants. Lisez tous les avertissements sur l’emballage.” The brass cases are characterized by their rimfire ignition and bottleneck design, with a stated muzzle velocity of 2,600 FPS.
