I have 3 boxes of these bullets, and was wondering if anyone here has ever heard of them. The only reference that I can find on them is from an old post on another forum, and it doesn't really answer the question of who made them and when they were made. Someone suggested that they were made by the same company that made Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullets, but I can't find anything to prove that. Any one here have any knowledge of these bullets?

Looks like a Sierra 100gr pro hunter to me but I’ve not heard of anything called a Trophy from anyone. Maybe ask JB on the gunwriters sub forum.

Looks like a Sierra #1540 introduced 1956, known today as the 100 grain pro hunter. Box looks like early Sierra also.

Bear Claws have a T on the base, boxes were white with Bear on them. You have old Sierras I believe.

The only labeling is what is shown in the picture, nothing else anywhere on the box.
