Just got off the phone with a Barnes Bullet Co. tech and that new bullet is actually machined and he said he hadn't noticed until I mentioned it that the picture of it has a parting line showing on it. He says he has one he was looking at as we spoke, actual bullet in his hand, and said he could assure me that it has on line on it and that it is machined. He said we were correct in that the grooves are to reduce friction, thus pressure and also being less bearing surface it puts less copper or bronze fouling on the bore. So there you have it.
