Bullet I.D. help

Nice snag!!! Could be Remington? Speer?
I want to say hornady bad but seems like most of theirs is listed as boat tails. I’m certain these have a good bit of age to them. Seems also like the hornady jackets have a much sharper line from the ogive to the bearing surface

I'm betting they are Remington Pointed Soft Points.
Maybe they did at one time, but I don't remember Speer having the grooves on the side but Remington did.

 
My guess is Winchester; although I don’t believe I have any remaining or loaded with which to compare. There is a bag of 1K for sale in classifieds, pulldowns by the old Thunderbird co., that look remarkably similar.
 
Hornady use to make a 55 gr FB spire point and BT. It appears that they have dropped the FB for a BT. They are always changing something. And they were dirt cheap.
The number was 2266 w/c and is shown in the 8th edition reloading manual.

The original label on the box says PSP as in Pointed Soft Point, as opposed to the handwritten note.
The ogive is not exactly like Hornady’s Secant ogive and the rounded profile still suggests Winchester in my experience.
