hornady 55gr soft points now have boat tail?

[rweaver00geo]

purchased in bulk from monmouth reloading and was pleasantly surprised to see that they now have a boat tail. Last purchase from powder valley had no boat tail. Anyone have any idea when this happened? i didn't see a different product designation on the hornady site. How much would the BC change?

I thought the 55grs were always boat tail but maybe I started buying them after a transition.

What was the part number that you ordered?

Since I only ordered 2000 they came in a bulk plastic bag not a box as pictured

On powder valley, where I ordered 2 years ago they are listed as HOR2266B2000
