Remington loads the schirroco (sp) in the ultra mag. It is essentially the exact same bullet as the accubond but made by swift.

But to the TBBC. It is one bad ass bullet. IMO, assuming the TBBC shoots well out of your rifle, it is the absolute best expanding lead bullet on the market today. The front of the bullet is lead and is chemically bonded to the thick jacket while the rear of the bullet is solid copper. This bullet expands beautifully with out over expanding due to the solid shank of the bullet and retains a high ammount of weight. The only draw backs to it are that it is not as stream lined as other bullets and bleeds off speed a little faster but it is negligable and they are very expensive if you want to reload them.


The one that I have been able to recover was a 140 grain .270 bullet recovered from a large cow elk. It broke three ribs on entrance, went through the liver and literally turned it to mush, the rear of one lung, broke two more ribs and stoped just under the skin on the off side. The perfectly mushroomed bullet literally looked like it had been shot into ballistics geletan except for the blood and bone on it.

I took a mulie doe with them that same year but did not recover that one. The wound channel was great though. Very good and extensive damage to both lungs and the exit wound was larger than the entrance wound indicating that it had mushroomed just as nicely on deer as it did on elk.

If they shoot for you you won't regret using the on elk. Especially with the velocites that the UM is going to give you. You need a great bullet like the TBBC.
