Is there any such thing or am I just dreaming?

From what I've seen, it is pretty much roll your own...

Short of handloading your own this might be the closest to match grade.

+1 Given the history Lapua has with regards to quality components and attentiion to detail this is probably your best bet for a consistent, quality made factory load in this caliber.

At $40 a box plus shipping, I'll roll my own when I get there... I only have a few 7.62x39 that would need that quality of ammo...

O.S.O.K.

Definately a handloading proposition IMHO. I load brass cases with 150 grian .312" bullets for my Cz.

I have always wanted to try some out through my Bulgy RPK.

I had 30 boxes of Lapua from 1980 at one time. I never got to shoot it and sold it all, always wondered how good it would of done. That said, loading your own is the only way to get Match Grade so to speak and you can do it a hell of a lot cheaper than the Lapua. Handloaded price should be 50 cents or less per round even in these inflated price days we live in now.
