Anyone have any experience with Trophy Bonded Bear Claw or Swift A-Frames or Speer Grand Slam? Thanks for the input.
I'd say there is nothing wrong with what you have.

The bear claws, A-frames, and Grand Slams are more expensive I believe, the terminal performance may be slightly better, but you are not shooting cape buffalo so it is moot. The ballistic coefficients are not as good either.

So I've never seen a reason to try them. I needed a bullet to hold together better, and could sacrifice BC, I'd use a triple shock.
