Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1072:
Description
This lot consists of a group of centerfire rifle ammunition and brass for the .303 Savage cartridge. The lot includes a verified quantity of 90 live rounds and 10 empty brass casings. The ammunition is housed in five green and white cardboard boxes featuring the Graf & Sons brand, titled Ammunition for Military Surplus & Vintage Calibers. A red circular mark on the front panel identifies these as Contract Loaded by Hornady. The side labels specify the contents as 303 Savage, 150 GR RN, with the product number #80495. The cartridges are constructed with brass casings and round-nose soft-point bullets. The individual cartridges displayed show headstamps reading PPU 303 SAVAGE, indicating the brass was manufactured by Prvi Partizan. The ammunition and packaging are consistent with modern commercial production intended for vintage Savage Model 99 rifles and similar firearms chambered for this caliber.
Condition report:
