Almost any premium bullet in a 300 will do the job.

Failsafes, X-bullets, Trophy Bonded, Sciroccos, A-frames, Accubonds, Partitions, Core-lokts, the list goes on and on.

Sounds like a win-win. The TBBC is available in High Energy Loads which adds 160 FPS.

That 160fps will never make a difference lol. Look at the trajectory and wind drift, its probably less than 6" at 500 yards. Some people worry too much about speed, when you should be looking at a good quality bullet to get a good mushroom and good penetration. The bear claw however offers that, so if you want the extra fps then go for it!

For long range open country shots, I would favor the Accubond slightly. And the TBBC would be a little better for closer shots. Can't go wrong with either one.
