Federal Edge TLR Bullets For Reloading

[Double Dropper]

Anyone loading the TLR bullets from Federal yet? Looking at maybe trying these in my 300 Winchester Magnum. Grouping? Game performance? Like to try them maybe but a fad or the real deal?

There are a few threads on here talking about these bullets already, lots of good info in them. Although I din't think much in the way of field reports, they haven't been available as components long enough to gather the info. I will be hunting with them this fall in my 28 Nosler, if I can ever get to the dang range.

Have been loading/shooting the 175 gr and 200 gr TLR bullets in 300 WSM and a couple of my wildcats this summer, will have info posted up after moose hunting season

I'm shooting the 175gr in 300wsm haven't found the perfect load yet some .7's but not as consistent as I would like. So hot having a hard time getting out to shoot.

I settled on a load with the 175gr in my new 300WSM using H4350.
Above was at 654 yards below at100

I haven't done a lot of research on this bullet so apologies in advance....but isn't this a tipped barnes bullet or is it actually produced by them?

Looks by the cross section its more of a Nosler Ballistic tip combined with a trophy bonded bear claw LOL

No its not a tipped Barnes its a soft lead top, bottom copper.

I shhot them in my 308 but haven't reloaded with them yet . but I have shot several hundred of the factory loaded and they are deadly on hogs.
They make a horrific head shot, and are devastating in the chest cavity. And are accurate at the range out to 600 yds.

The 175 TLR is very accurate ( 1/8 MOA) out of my 06 and the 168 Gr TBT Federal is more accurate at ( 1/16 MOA) both have performed well for me . I like them , recovered a 175 from off side of Elk under hide on steep down shot in Utah in 2017 and weighed 147and some change . They have different tips but same construction

I think it was designed around the old Trophy bonded bear claw

Floyd, what load in your 06?

Floyd, what load in your 06?

Both of these loads are Federal Factory . The rifle is built on Browning L.H. A-Bolt SS action 24" #5 Kreiger ss barrel in a McMill. A5 Tack stock trigger is tuned at 1 1/4 pound. I have shot the 175 out to 300yds and it held MOA , have shot the 168 out to 600 with very bad mirage and experience 3" variance in elevation which is probably me and I was running them out of a very hot barrel. when it cools of a bit I will reshoot both . I am switching to LE Wilson dies and just picked them up from my gun smith to start reloading . when I find a load for these two bullets I will post it for you , I am guessing the powder load will be one of the 4350's but do not know at this point
