I managed to scrounge up a healthy supply of the discontinued Federal Safari Premium 300gr. TBBC as my AHR .375 H&H shoots it extremely well.
My Talkeetna unfortunately doesn't like the older stuff, but loves the newest TBBC that Federal is loading. I ended up taking this to Zimbabwe this past summer and the bullet performed flawlessly on lioness, bushpig, and giraffe.
My PH is "old school" and absolutely loved the original TBBC. He was rather skeptical of the new stuff, but after digging one out of a giraffe and seeing how well it penetrated and the text book mushroom, he softened his stance and indicated although it wouldn't be his recommendation/preference, he wouldn't be adverse nor concerned with a hunter using them to hunt cape buffalo.
Although, he made sure to press home and stress that his personal opinion was that A-Frames were better.
