i found a whole box of 100 winchester 180gr 30cal silvertip bullets. these are in the old yellow box. what are these worth? any value in them? or just load them and shoot them? thanks

They could be worth more to a collector than to a shooter. Depends on the age and the condition of the box. I'd be interested in seeing a photo if you have one. Send me a PM.

Silvertips are my favorite bullets for whitetail deer when using my .270. I would love to find some .277" 130gr silveritip bullets.

I bought 500 of them bulk some years back. They have been an excellent bullet for me, but I don't know when they were made.

Cheers,

Dan

Great bullet for werewolves. I got one last week. Used 130 gr. in my 270 Win at about 75 yds. The bugger took three steps and piled up. Face looked like a warthog.


sorry. must be the season.

That's good!

Grins, Werewolves? Well, whatever, the Winchester Silvertip is a tremendously destructive bullet that has worked first time every time for me in the .270 WCF.

I also purchased a bag of 500 in .277 caliber. Weird though. they have the canelure on them in the wrong place. A little bit too high up. But it doesn't seem to affect anyting at all as they are very accurate and do a nice job on deer for my brother in his .270.

Moments before he was ripped to shreds, Edgar vaguely recalled having seen that same obnoxious tie earlier in the day.
