Bingo ! I really believe that Hornady was wise enough to have plenty of factory ammo readily available at the time it launched the CM. To do otherwise would have killed it on the spot. Seeing that success, the other ammo and rifle Mfgrs jumped in rather quickly.
It is a successful cartridge launch, no doubt, but the fairy dust that came with it isn't listed as an option.
