Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Musgrave Ammo?

I picked up two boxes of Musgrave 30/06 ammo marked "made in Austria" with 11,7 G (180 grain) soft point bullets from a friend that purchased an estate. It looks like good quality ammo. Does this have any collector interest or is it just shooter grade? Does anyone know if it is boxer or berdan primed? Thanks for any info that will help satisfy my curiosity.

Wasn't Musgrave a South African company? I recall a Musgrave bolt action Mauser rifle a few decades ago.

This stuff hit the States back in 1984-85. It was cheap ($4/box), and it was good. I found the 180 grainers shot well in my Remington 742, so I bought a case of it. That was my one and only deer ammo for a decade.

It is boxer primed. My sons are both shooting reloads out of the brass.
