Original Silvertips

[mtmuley]

I know a guy that loves to use these in a .308 Norma. Anybody have any of any weight? Or, know where some might be? Thanks, mtmuley

I might. I have a big junk box in the shop. I’ll look next week.

I'm not sure how they became more valuable over the years. If he can't find any at a sane price, that Norma might go to Hammers. mtmuley

I'd look in other 30s besides 308. He could always pull the bullets and reload. I've got a box of 06s but they're part of my ammo collection

He does. Has found some over the years. He likes the bullet, I'd just move on. mtmuley

Shooters Pro Shop sells the Ballistic Silver Tips. Subject to availability, of course

Never heard of these before. Are they legit silver at the end of the bullet? We're they made for hunting vampire?

Aluminum I think. I shot 180s out of my 308 back in the early 90s. They worked great, but I haven’t seen them in a long time.

Anyone remember the Remington bronze points?

Oh, and I believe I have 2 boxes of 220 grain silver tip 300 win mag ammo.

I do. Always wanted some, but Dad bought Core-Lokts.

The first big game animal I saw my Dad shoot was a pronghorn, using bronze points in a 30/06.

Might have been at one point, but I think they've been using polymer tips for quite a while. Nosler makes 'em. https://shop.nosler.com/nosler-bullets/ballistic-silvertip.html

Not the same bullet. The original Winchester Silvertip had a metallic cap on the tip of the bullet. The Ballistic Silvertip is a completely different projectile.

How about the Remington Accelerators. Remember those?

I remember having a Win .348 silvertip. IIRC it had blunt silvery tip about a quarter inch thick, kinda trapeziodal in shape.

I have one 250 Grain 35 Caliber flat base sitting lonely on the book case behind my loading bench. It came in a pawn shop grab bag.
