    That could explain why the bullets were pulled. I need to load up some test rounds anyway so I'll just make extra for expansion testing.

    Since it appears to be factory marked, I think it's unlikely to be traded in ammunition, and more likely ammo or projectiles that didn't meet specifications in QC. Safe to shoot, but maybe out of the velocity window, or a lot of bullets that didn't perform to spec.
