This lot consists of 80 rounds of vintage .222 Remington 50 grain ammunition from two classic American manufacturers, Western and Winchester. The .222 Remington cartridge, introduced in 1950, quickly earned a reputation for exceptional accuracy and mild recoil, becoming a favorite among varmint hunters and target shooters. It was the first commercially successful small-caliber, high-velocity centerfire cartridge of its kind and laid the groundwork for later developments such as the .223 Remington.
Included in this lot are full boxes from Western Super-X and Winchester Super Speed product lines, both loaded with jacketed soft point projectiles typical of the era. The packaging reflects mid-20th century commercial production, with the familiar yellow, red, and blue branding associated with these lines. The cartridges appear to retain consistent finish with expected light age-related handling marks, and the boxes show honest storage wear while remaining structurally sound.
All boxes are full, bringing the total to 80 rounds. This is a solid grouping of early .222 Remington 50 grain ammunition suitable for collectors of vintage sporting cartridges or those interested in period-correct ammunition for classic rifles.
