Technically, no, since it’s not electroplated but they crimp the core to the jacket to achieve the same result. I’m not seeing that crimson the punch ammo.
Regardless, I think the difference in price is more about protecting the value of their premium brands than the difference in production costs.
If it's posted I missed it... Has anybody called one of their engineering or tech folks and just asked what the difference is?

No real intention of ditching my 180 grain HST preferred and 180 grain Gold Dot substitute standard stocking plan but will likely buy some of the 165 grain to play with. Be curious to see how it holds up out of a carbine and if it still works from a Shield/G27. Granted into my block of clear fauxgel but good enough for a basic feel out of sandpit curiosity.
