I've had consistent performance, using TBBC for about the last 9 or 10 years. Although this year's rifle is a 7mm, I use Federal 165 gr TBBC exclusively in my BAR 30-06, the only rifle I don't reload for. (I have a lifetime supply of the stuff.) It drops deer where they stand. The only exception out of 35-40 deer taken with this rifle being one rutting buck that I found 30 yards from where I shot him. I can't recall if I got pass throughs every time (when your not blood trailing, you kind of stop speculating about bullet performance), but if the deer is DRT, who needs two holes?
