Should be plenty. What caliber Rifle?
What Cartridge?
What do you mean by good? Not Blow up on impact due to high velocity?
I think it'llbe ok, but it really depends how fast it impacts the critter at
I would think that any caliber rifle firing a 180 gran bullet would drop a bear with ease.
Should be fine for anything but maybe the big Coastal Brown bears of Alaska.
I'm assuming you're shooting a .30-06, .308, or 300mag. Sounds perfect for black bears
Good for Alaskas Brown Bear!
If the TB Tip performs like the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, it is good for anything on the planet in an appropriate caliber.
I'm not sold on the idea of nickel plate deposition in my rifle bore quite yet. Copper and gilding metal are hard enough to get out, but a hard metal like nickel will not be removed with simple solvent and patches. Just my unscientific opinion.

I'm curious as to what caliber you will be using.
