Hornady FPB

My most recent order from Hornady was followed by their catalogue. In it, they show a "new" muzzleloader bullet called the FPB. I can't find anything showing what "FPB" stands for. It is a full bore, copper jacketed bullet with a hollow base, designed to go after the Power Belt. One sentence says "So now you don't have to compromise or shoot a muzzleloader bullet that has to wear a plastic skirt".

BC is claimed to be .285. Looks like it may only be available in 350 gr at $18.33 for 15.

Anyone seen or tried these?

yeoman,
I'll look @ my catalog tomorrow. Was that a 2008 or 07 catalog? I never remember reading about that one. I have seen the PA pellet which is an elongaed RB w/ a cavity @ the back of the bullet and prelubed..
