Ammo switched?

I purchased 500 rds. of Eley EPS from a major internet supplier. When opening the package, I noticed that all 10 boxs were not in one wrapping (same lot code though) and the seals from 6 of them were broken. I used one box of 50 and I could tell the recoil belongs to Pistol Match. Since Eley Pistol Match ($8.5/box) has the same appearance with the EPS ($12/box) and their ballistic values are very close to each other, would someone tell me whether I was ripped off?

If the first character of the lot number is a U or a V, it's TENEX.

Match EPS has M or N as the first character.

Pistol Match would be numbered differently. I don't know how Pistol Match is numbered.

Why not call the shipper and ask why the boxes had been opened?
If they are a reputable operation they should not have a problem with replacing them. Perhaps you should have called upon discovery and before shooting it. In business your reputation is worth a lot more that a few bucks made on 10 boxes of ammo.
The fellow I purchase ammo through via this medium is a stand up guy, as is our esteemed host.
