Frequently Asked Questions

What game is this load built for? Genuine dangerous game, including buffalo, where deep, straight-line penetration through bone matters more than expansion.

Why a solid bullet instead of an expanding one? Solids like the TBSS punch through heavy bone and muscle without deforming, giving the deepest reliable penetration on the biggest animals.

How does TBSS compare to Federal’s TBBC? TBSS is a non-expanding solid for penetration on follow-up shots, while TBBC is a bonded expanding bullet suited to a first, broadside shot.
