exactly that.

Expansion usually runs at least

twice caliber dimension and weight

retention is pretty consistently above

90 percent, unless shots are very close.

The beauty of the bonded core design

is that the structural integrity of the

bullet will not be compromised, even

on close shots from a fast magnum

cartridge, yet the front end will expand

reliably to all sane hunting ranges. I’ve

also found that the Trophy Bonded

Bear Claw is an accurate bullet, in both

the common, all-around calibers like

.30-06 Springfield, 7mm Remington

Magnum and .300 Winchester

Magnum, as well as the big guys like

the .375 Holland & Holland, .416 Rigby

and .470 Nitro Express. While the

ballistic coefficient isn’t exactly on

par with the sleeker designs – I find

the Trophy Bonded Tip better suited

to hunting shots at longer ranges – it

is good enough to be used at normal

hunting ranges, giving a very useable

trajectory and retaining energy well.

The modern iteration of the

Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw is

immediately identifiable; the projectiles

are nickel-plated, easily differentiating

The Winchester Model 70 Safari Express in .416 Remington Magnum, topped with a Leupold VX-3

1.5-5x20 in Talley detachable rings, loaded with 400-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claws, makes a

wonderful dangerous game combination.

The 225-grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw load in

.338 Winchester Magnum makes a wonderful

all-around choice for North America.
