I would like to hear some personal accounts of use for the speer tbbc bullet on caribou/elk size game. How well did they work, accuracy ,ect. I am considering them as well as partitions (140 gr) for a caribou hunt. Thanks guys, apprecieate any insight.

140 gr partitions or bear claws will kill a caribou nicely

i dont have any problems with either of them

i would choose wich ever you get to shoot best out of your rifle

I love the bearclaws,don't care for the partions as much,have seen some poor expansion with them,where all the bearclaws I recoved look like an advertisement,perfect mushroom and great weight retention.

IMO the TBBC is the best lead core bullet made today. I have recovered one 140 grain .277 bullet out of an elk and like DVD said it was a perfect mushroom and lost very little weight at all. It did massive ammounts of damage on it's way through to the other side too.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

I love the design and the idea behind them. What I don't like is they build pressure like a barnes X. And they build it quick. 1gr will push you over the edge, of one moment no pressure signs, next min. your beating out your brass with a wood dowl. I don't like the velocity limitations. Your never going to achieve optimal velocity.

I prefer the Barnes TSX, or the Nosler Partition over a TBBC.
