About Migra Ammunitions
Migra Ammunitions was founded by passionate duck hunter Drew McIntosh, who saw the need for better steel shot options for waterfowl hunting.
Born from frustration with existing steel shot performance, Drew believed steel hadn't reached its full potential while other brands moved toward expensive alloys that many hunters couldn't afford.
The company started humbly with Drew selling shells out of the trunk of his car after the idea was "named in a bar" and founded in his mother's garage in Georgia.
From those modest beginnings with just 4 original retailers, Migra Ammunitions has grown to over 750 retail locations nationwide.
Today, the Charleston, South Carolina-based company is at the forefront of shotgun shell innovation, pioneering patent-pending "Staxd Load" technology that combines multiple shot sizes in a single shell.
