I have about six hundred .257 diameter 100 grain bullets that were made by
The Modern Gun Shop.
Here is what I know about them.

My Great, Great, Uncle bought them sometime between the late forty's to the mid sixty's. They are 100 grain jacketed soft point bullets with an exposed led tip, and a circle of exposed lead on the base, (like the jacket is swedged on to the lead core.)
the boxes were yellow with black writing.
It may have said .5 cal. ogive on the box.
That is all I can recall and the boxes are long gone as far as I know. ( there may still be one or two in my parents basement...)

I have loaded some of these in the rifles I inherited with them, in .257 Roberts, and .257 Weatherby Magnum, and accuracy was excellent. I have shot a few deer with them and penetration seems to be about normal, though I have never tested them in wet news papers to be sure.

Has anyone else ever heard of Modern Gun Shop bullets? Does anyone know anything about them?

Thanks
 
I'm not sure if this is the same outfit but Modern Gunshop was a large, well equipped gunshop at 30-06 Danforth Ave. in Toronto until maybe 1970.....I remember when Toronto was "the good" and had many good gunshops...all are gone now...remember Hallam's, Skinners (both on Yonge Street), Ralph's gunshop( on Danforth along with Modern Gunshop), Holman and Hickey on Dawes Rd., there were others including well equipped gunshops in Eatons and Simpsons downtown. Now there are none and Toronto has become a real sh&thole.......Sorry if I hijacked your post as i can go on.......
