Lot 527:
A Pair of IMR 4831 Smokeless Rifle Powder Canisters Two Pounds Total
Description
This lot consists of two 1-pound (454 gram) containers of IMR 4831 smokeless powder, a slow-burning propellant traditionally favored for large-capacity rifle cartridges. Each cylindrical black plastic bottle features a bright orange label with the IMR logo and a white bullet-shaped graphic identifying the specific powder type. The labeling includes the manufacturer’s danger warning regarding flammability and net weight specifications. These canisters are topped with red-painted metal screw caps. IMR 4831 is a versatile propellant commonly utilized in magnum rifle calibers such as .270 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, and .300 Winchester Magnum. Note – As ammunition components, these items do not require a background check.
Condition report:
The canisters are in good vintage condition. The orange labels show minor scuffing and light shelf wear but remain fully legible. The red-painted metal caps exhibit some wear and paint loss, consistent with age and handling. The seals appear intact, and there is no evidence of leakage or significant container deformation. The contents are assumed to be live propellant; however, internal chemical stability has not been independently verified.
