I recently picked up some 140 gr Federal Trophy Bonded Tipped bullets that look interesting. As soon as the holidays are over, I'm going to give them a try...on paper anyway. The old TBBC's had a pretty good following and the new tipped version is suppose to be similarly constructed.
I bought a 7mm-08 not too long ago. I bought it as a deer rifle with the thought in the back of my mind that I may check an elk hunt off my bucket list one day. When I ordered my bullets for it I ordered 3 140 grain bullets. I got ABLRs with the thought that bullet would be my accuracy load. I also bought some Partitions and some Trophy Bonded Tipped. I know the Partition gets it done but wanted another "stout" bullet in the event the Partitions couldn't be coaxed into good groups. Like you I was a bit intrigued by the construction of the TBT. I have no doubts it'll penetrate, expand and leave a large wound channel.
