Fusion Brand Ammo

[bcurry]

Curious if anyone else has fired any Fusion brand ammo? I shot 10 rounds and returned the empty brass to the carton until ready to tumble it with some other. Couldn't help but notice how corroded it was, even after tumbling! Would you suspect the powder or primer they use might cause this? The box states Made In USA and it is considered premium hunting ammo. You can see from pic #3 and #4 the two lines of Fusion next to a PMC case and the buildup near the case head on top row left. Any thoughts?

We've gone through 80-100 rds in various calibers and NEVER seen that out of the box. Most primers are now non corrosive. Did the primers have the "blue dot" federal uses to seal their primers with?

From what I can tell from the pictures, it looks like maybe moisture got on the brass, but that's just a WAG.

I have a box of 165's in 300wsm. Brass is pretty and clean. I have killed two deer with them as well. Contact federal or where you bought them from. That is a bad lot IMHO.
