I have a Bear box of 250/3000 Western that came with a note inside the box. "FIRST NOTE I'VE SEEN WITH WARTIME AMMO" GW


States : Wartime restrictions on the us of critical materials prevent us from supplying the Silvertip bullet with silver colored tip. This accounts for the dull appearance of the tips of the bullets in this package.

This no way affects the functioning of this most modern and truly remarkable bullet, the performance of which is equally effective at short and long ranges. While asking your indulgence for the present finish, we assure you that as soon as conditions permit the bright appearance will be restored to the Silvertip bullet.
