I agree Mike...maybe even too tough unless you hit heavy bone and such at hyper velocity..I too have taken big game with the TBBC bullet, i think it's much better than the TB tipped version...used a 300wsm 180gr tipped version on 2 caribou in 2008 @75 yds with perfect shots, bullet penciled in and out, with minimal internal damage...could'nt believe it, obviously the bullet was too tough for the job, a Partition would have been a better choice for sure..These bullets are great at high speeds, but would opt for the lightest weight for caliber, because unless heavy bone is struck, expansion is not that great..im shooting the .270win and love the 150gr partitions for sure, would those 130gr TB tips work, i'm very sure, but at that speed, expansion would not be the same as the Partition..however with that said, my 45-70 well be shooting 300gr TBBC's for sure :wink: ...Lou
BTW...I might just try the 130gr in my .270win...hmm :shock:

My old man shot his brown bear with a 225 TBBC, it looks the same. Just great bullets, hard to get your hands on them as handloaders though!
