Status: Sold

Antique 348 Winchester centerfire cartridge loaded under the Winchester Super-X label, bearing the Super-X 348 Win headstamp on a heavily patinated brass centerfire case topped with a flat nose jacketed bullet secured with a distinctive orange primer annulus, displaying rich dark age appropriate patina across the entire cartridge. The 348 Winchester was introduced in 1936 exclusively for the Winchester Model 71 lever action rifle, chambered as one of the most powerful lever action cartridges of its era and highly regarded for taking large North American game including moose, elk, and bear at close to moderate range. Winchester produced Super-X loaded 348 ammunition at their New Haven, Connecticut factory and the cartridge remained in production until the Model 71 was discontinued in 1958, making original factory loads increasingly scarce and collectible today. Cartridge measurements are OAL 2.78in CL 2.23in MW .37in
