Eh.
Thanks for bringing this up. It's interesting to see what is being heralded as new.

That said, does anybody remember a die or a device that you'd put your regular old .22LR rounds in and the tip would stick out and you'd take a file and make your own flat point rounds? I remember the claim was it was better for squirrel, rabbit, small varmits than the regular rounds but my memory isn't something I'd bet a lot of money on.

P.S. I'm an avowed Federal Fan because they have a plant where I live (Twin Cities Minnesota) and several years ago they got upset practically all the Olympic shooters were using foreign ammo and so they put out a line of really accurate .22LR and got a few medals with it. Good for them.
