I swear I picked some of these up a few years back.

Agreed. Very accurate factory loads. I'd buy them if they are properly priced.
Thanks for posting.

I've never seen them for sale. I've been hoping that they would make them available for a few years now. I have a rifle that I reload for that I haven't been able to duplicate how accurate it shoots with factory fusions.

Default Fusion

My Tikka 7mm -08 shoots the factory Fusion ammo 140gr fantastically well

Happy for the reloading crowd on this. My 7MM always liked these. I wonder if there will be more interest in slightly smaller calibres?

There were a few "issues" with the deep curl...unfortunately.

Like what? I shot a pile of animals with the 160gr 7mm and they worked textbook well.

Had the same issue with a Browning 270 WSM about 10 years ago. As hard as I tried, I struggled to match the accuracy of the Fusion factory ammo. Drove me batsh$t crazy !!
