 The shape reminds me of the old winchester domes, but the .177 claims to be about 8.50 gr. Hmm  :-\

I’m wondering why H&N is bothering?
I don’t see it on their site.

Those look like old school (prior to field target) silhouette pellets. Little 1 to 2 inch metal animals were the targets back then in that sport.

The ridge on the head was designed/added in so glancing blows would catch the little silhouette animal and catch to knock it over and score as a hit. 

I'd call them anti-field target pellets because catching the outside ring in front of the hit paddle on field target would be an energy dumping bummer that could cost you hits.
