I have this question posted on several other forums but no one has been able to identify these bullets for me. 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? Thanks for any advice that you can give!

I have this same topic posted on several other forums, and someone suggested that these bullets could have been an overrun/overstock/blem sale, and that some buyer bought them in bulk and then repackaged them and was selling under the "Trophy" name.

I had that same patch, I bought it and a Leopold patch in the early 1980’s when I was living in the Communist Republic of Berkeley... :thumbup:


OP, I thought it may be from Speer when I saw the bullet shape like some of the others did. I took a pic of an older Speer .263 140 gr spitzer that I have on the bench. The shape of this one looks similar to yours in my semi-bullet-literate eyes.

Stay safe.
 
If I go back in time 1978 Sierra offered a 100gr .243" spitzer flat base. If I go back to 1966 Speer #7 did not offer a 100gr bullet in .243" I am not sure how long Nosler has offered the .243" 100gr Partition bullet?
I think Nosler first offered there Trophy Grade ammo with their Partition bullet, and later added the Accubond and Solid after that maybe more have followed. Their ET copper has shown promise so that one may be there as well.
I think the OP is correct to assume his bullets are rebranded. Or they are from a extinct manufacturer or a offshore maker? Quite the mystery:)
Maybe some High Roader will wake up and solve this one.
