Winchester Ballistic Silvertip Reviews

carpsniperg2:
i use them in my 7mm-08's 25-06 and load them for my cuzz in his 308. i have had very good results with them both in testing and in the field. my grandmother shoots them in her 30-06 and she has killed 4 bucks with them and the bullets have worked well on all of them. they have always been great shooting bullets. the one thing i have found is not to run them to fast, a little slower is better with them so they don't come apart as much. but for a ballistic tip of that design, they have been a good bullet for us.

I have had bad experiences with them as well I like to be able to get a little meat from the deer I shoot, and it seems these bullets explode when they hit bone.  I wouldnt buy them again I dont think Winchester Supreme makes the failsafe anymore, but that was a fantastic bullet.  I have been using the fusions of late they seem to hold together quite well usually only about a 4" circumference bloodshot area for the price they seem to be a great bullet.

Had a similar experience with white tail.  They are accurate but that is about it.

Don't wast the money.

I agree they're accurate, I can shoot tight groups all day with 'em on the range...seems like other folks are having the same issue I'm having with them coming apart when they hit an animal

Rick:
I've used 130gr .270 caliber Ballistic Tips for years. Both the standard version and Winchester's fancy silver and black model. I've never had one come apart or stay inside a deer. Absolutely perfect performance every time.

My brother has used the 150s from his '06 for years also. Never an issue for him either.

IMO,you couldn't design a better bullet for deer.
