This box of ammunition is intended for the Pvpj 1110 (Pansarvärnspjäs 1110) (90 mm recoiless Gun), were a spotter rifle in 7,62x51 is mounted in parallel with the main guns barrel. The mechanics of the spotter rifle is originating from the Ag m/42B rifle, so suitable to be used with a stripper clip. The box is not labeled as with stripper clip, only the plastic container holding the boxes is correctly labeled. This has kept the box quite unknown actually, as it is difficult to identify it without opening the box. This ammunition is manufactured by Hirtenberger, Austria in 1971. The stripper clip in use for the 7,62x51 ammunition is the same as for the 6,5x55 ammunition. Courtesy AMF 30
