The TBBC is a premium bullet that was removed from the reloading market at the request of Federal, circa 2015. They wanted exclusive right to the TBBC bullets for their ammunition.
The Speer reloading manual #14 still has a listing for the 225 gr. TBBC for the 35 Whelen, as well as other calibres. Every calibre listed for the TBBC bullets includes this note:
Trophy Bonded Bear Claw and Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer Solid bullets have unique ballistic behaviour compared to conventional bullets. Loads for TBBC and TBSS bullets may not "track" with data for conventional bullets. Use TBBC and TBSS data ONLY for TBBC and TBSS bullets.
