Anyone have an idea on what these are worth? 25 to a box, not sure what to offer, shot in the past but they havent been available for years. These are from just after Jack Carter put deal together with Speer.

The box is older but the bullets are still available. They are now under the Federal Premium name. They are the same bullets.

I don't think they're the same ones, the Federals are the Trophy Bonded Tipped version not the Bear Claws.

Dunno. That’s cool though, thanks for sharing. Man I’d love one of the bags.

I suppose I would offer half of what the going rate is on premium bullets now so maybe .50 cents per piece.

Thanks for the help gentlemen, much appreciated.

From what I'm reading the original design is gone forever. The jacket used to be all copper but now Federal added some zinc to allow their high speed machines to makes it. Unfortunately they are not as good as the originals. Also from what I've read Federal ordered Speer to stop selling the TBBC bullets as components. Federal.wants that bullet in their factory loaded ammo only.

Again, this is just what I've read so....

Federal's ammunition used the Federal "trophy bonded bear claw" bullets as Arch AngleCD said.

Federal never sold them as components as Arch AngleCD also said.
I wish I could get my hands on more of that ammo.
I should've bought more of these when I had the chance. These are left over from a long time ago.
Edit to add: I see Federal is still selling them. No, they are discontinued.
