.22 Ammo Trivia

So who's really making my .22 ammo?
Recently I got a brick each of Federal Game Shok and CCI Blazer .22 Long Rifle.
The boxes and plastic carriers appear to be identical, as do the bullets with the exception of one being copper clad and the other not.
Is Federal making CCI's .22's? Vice versa? Is a third party making both? Or are these striking similarities just co-incidence?
Not earth shattering questions, I know. Must have been a slow day at thet office, no?
Any comments greatly appreciated.

You're right, there are similar plastic boxes, but what I have here are the 50 round cardboard boxes for the CCI Blazers and the Federals.
It seems obvious to me that the boxes; both outer, and the plastic inner "racks" are identical. It was really the identical profile of the bullets themselves that got me thinking.
