Default Cor-Bon using Gold Dot bullets now?

I just picked-up a box of Cor-Bon 60 gr JHP .32 ACP and a box of 110 gr JHP. 38 Special +P. Both are loaded with what appear to be Speer Gold Dot projectiles. When did they switch from the Sierras? I thought one of the "features" of Cor-Bon's standard JHP line was bullet fragmentation. Oh well, I guess that's kind of out the window now with the use of bonded bullets. I am curious to try them out of my .32 NAA Guardian and S&W Model 60. Anybody know anything else about the change in projectiles?

I can only comment on 40/10mm. Mike Shovel (CB National Sales Mgr) told me that they started making their own bullets for 10mm.

Direct quote: " We are slowly transitioning to our own bullet desgins. We began making the 150 gr .40 caliber bullets early this year. They work as good or even better than the bullets we've used in the past. The core and jacket stay together much better on the new COR-BON bullets, however expansion is still very aggressive."

I assume it was spurred on by the component shortage.
