Default Anyone use Felpro Header gaskets?

Just wondering, I installed a set in place of some copper gaskets that were leaking, and they are working great. However, I noticed that the gaskets don't have the very first and very last bolt holes in them. I drilled them out with no problem, but I found it odd...anyone else have this too?

Which gasket did you use?

I use Fel Pro 1406's, and instead of "holes" for the first and last bolt they are open at the bottom, so you don't have to take the header all the way off to install the gasket. Just take out all the middle bolts and loosen the ends, then drop the gasket in and reinstall the middle bolts and tighten everything back up.

Felpro 1406 here. I had the copper ones for a while but couldn't get them to seal properly.
