    I have 3 boxes of these bullets, and was wondering if anyone here has ever heard of them. I bought them off of Gunbroker a while back, and the only reference that I can find on them is from a old post on another forum, and it doesn't really answer the question of who made them and when they were made. Any one here have any knowledge of these bullets?

    Wonder if they are similar in origin to the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullets??

    BowChamp, I was wondering the same thing, and one reference that I found seems to suggest that, but I can't find anything definitive to prove it.

    Looks like a common 100 grain 6mm bullet, possibly bought in bulk from an overrun or overstock . Then repackaged and sold with the name "TROPHY". Not uncommon at all I have bought items like this over the years and usually find a good deal.

    Thanks 16gauge, that makes a lot of sense.

    Sierra Game King ??
    Sierra sells their blems/seconds, either FTF at their customer outlet, or to reloading supply houses like Powder Valley. Still feeding a couple of AR's their 77 BTHP's I bought many many moons ago
    The nice thing is that till you shoot them they don't cost anything to feed sitting on a shelf .

    Thank you sir! They do strongly resemble a Sierra Pro Hunter, I don't have any of them on hand to do a comparison, though. I think that you and MarkS may be on the right track, I have this same question posted on several other forums and the answers that I am getting are along the same lines of what you and Mark suggested.
