Dynamic Research Tech. Ammo??

I recently went into Gander Mountain for some ammo and found this Dynamic Research Tech. (or DRT as they call it) it is listed as 85gr HP and thought it was a bit light for hollow point, but at $30 for 50 rounds, I thought, I would at least try it at the range.
when I opened it, to my surprise, it looked exactly like the sellier & bellot that I have in a FMJ weighing 115gr. same markings on the casing, same color bullet, all identical. It looks like DRT bought alot of S&B ammo, machined it to be hollow point, repackaged it and redistributed it!
I hope you can make this out from the pics. Haven't shot it yet, but I don't know what I can determine from a paper target?

O.k, I went to DRT's web site, kind of intresting, so I guess it isn't just a machined out hollow point, but it is still not what I am used to seeing and weight is still far less then most other quality hollow points that I have seen.

If you are looking for SD ammo at decent prices, best I've seen is SGAmmo. Direct sale website is relatively new, but they have been sellers on gunbroker with good feedback for a long time. NATO Ranger as low as 39/100. I ordered 9mm 124gr Speer Gold Dots last Friday, shipped Monday, scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
