I love the TBBC for a all-around hunting bullet. I have only used them in a .35 Whelen in the form of factory ammo, but have taken over 10 animals with that bullet and cartridge, ranging from steinbuck to eland and moose with great performance each time. I shoot and load a 7mm-08, and my only thought might be to use the 140 gr. weight, saving the 160 for the .280 case size and upward.
