I've read that those bullets are Etips with grooves cut and coincidently1800fps is what Nosler lists as the minimum velocity. The picture at 1800fps is not impressive but no experience with them that at that slow. I have shot plains game, an aoudad, nilgai, blackbuck, and a few whitetail with 0 complaints. The couple I recovered looked like an advertisement.
I had heard similar... but I figured I'd go to the source, federal will never confirm if they farm them out or not, but the more you know...
