Have shot many a big whitetail with 180gr. Silvertip factory loads out of an '06. They were my dads and are in yellow and red boxes. Maybe these old bullets are tougher or I just get lucky but I have had absolutely perfect results over the years. Never had a bullet blow up even through both shoulders. Have had them lose a bunch of weight but it doesn't bother me because they have got the job done. Wouldn't use them on anything bigger than deer though. Have no experience with Bronze Points. MD knows way more about this stuff than I do though. Just my experience with old rounds.
