I'm not following your logic, for a couple of reasons.

The Trophy Bonded Bear Claws were originally made by Jack Carter, and eventually Federal started loading them in factory ammo. A few years later Federal started making them, and as far as I know the present, tipped version is still made by Federal, not Speer.

Plus, the Trophy Bondeds have always been known as deep-penetrating, premium bullets for game larger than deer, which is why they're priced higher.
