IDK about in the 300 Savage, but I'm not a fan of the Winchester SilverTip. The only I have used are the original 200 grain 358 Winchester factory loads. Shot two whitetails with them and was NOT happy with the performance for what, by all rights, should be a bruiser load. Shattered on the shoulder of an average size PA buck at 45 paces. Put him down, but I expected more. They are too soft. I now have plenty of brass for that cartridge and I've relegated those old factory boxes to paper punching to get once fired brass for that gun.

I'm fixing to get started handloading 300 Savage and the experiences posted here have been very helpful. Thanks everyone.


Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six.
