Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, w Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Tip?

They shoot awesome from my Browning XBolt Speed 3006! Haven't shot them at anything yet but great accuracy.

I shoot them in my 7 Rem, 300win mag, 270 win. wife shoots them in 7mm08

IMO best hunting bullet on the market. All of our guns shoot them well under MOA. We've shot coyotes, sheep, Tahr, Chamois, mulies and whitetail with them. 30-700 yards. Great performance....Out of the dozens of animals shot with them I have recovered 3 bullets (all else were pass throughs) all bullets were between 90-94% weight retention with full expansion. Getting quarter to half dollar exits.

My brother used them for a moose in the Yukon, 300 wsm and still talks about the knock down power.

I have used the 175 grains Edge TLR which is the LR variant of the TBT. My son dropped a mule deer 225 yards cross canyon shot in his tracks.

Accurate, bonded, 90% weight retention, opens down to 1300 fps.

I have taken six cow elk them out of my 3006 and they have done a great job.

Taken 2 pig, 1 blacktail and 2 axis with 7mm. Old kmart savage 7mm mag and this is the best box copper for accuracy out of my gun. Better keep an eye on your game cause the blood trails SUCK with copper- pin holes. Luckily the big boom knocked them down close.

I have killed 1 cow elk 3 deer and a dall sheep all with 1 shot. Shooting a 7mm rem mag. Only recovered the 1 in the elk and it only lost 5 grains with a perfect mushroom.

My 300 Win Mag shoots them .5 MOA. To me the TBTs are a robust bullet designed for controlled-expansion and deep-penetration on bigger critters like elk, moose or bear. They’ll certainly kill deer and antelope but there are plenty of other bullets better designed for that purpose. That’s the beauty of having multiple rifles. We can have different chamberings set up with bullets/loads specific for the different classes of game we’ll be hunting.

most accurate factory offering i found in my tikka t3x wsm (the 180s). hoping to find out they are awesome on elk in colorado 2nd season!

Shot a small bull with 300WSM and 180TBT. Stopped him in his tracks at 50 yards. Bullet came to rest on far side just under the hide after liquefying the heart. Good weight retention and definitely would use them again.
