Were those tips a light gray color? I have scored a number of gray-tipped ballistic tips of various calibers from SPS. My understanding is these were destined to become "Winchester Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertips", which all have gray tips, but got culled out. Most of these I have found have a bit of a dingy shade to the jacket but are otherwise perfect. Odd since the bullets would all have been later coated with the black stuff anyway.
