Does that not work whatever speed you're doing?

No. The exact formula for the bank angle required for a rate 1 turn involves a bit of trigonometry, and the (TAS/10)+7 is just an approximation which works for small angles, say below 30 degrees.

The usual place to look for aviation formulae is here.
