If anybody here is in love with Winchester .30 150 Silvertips, I found a stack of them on sale at a LGS. $15/ box. I grabbed a box for general purposes, I can go back and get more if you want some. 5 or 6 boxes left. Let me know before Saturday afternoon as I'll be gone from there then.

That sounds like a good price. A buddy of mine loves them but we can't mail order out here.

If they were 190's I would have grabbed them all for you guys. (I shoot 190's that I make.)

Jeff, you mean you can't mail order components? One more reason for me to stay the heck out of California.

We can't mail order ammo. I'm not so sure about the components, though I think they are okay. Were these just the bullets? Even so, I don't seem to run across bulk Silvertips too much. I have a bag of 150s in my stash someplace. Bulk Remington Core Lokts yes - at least a few years ago yes. We do have an extra layer of bologna out here, but there are other things about this state I wouldn't trade for much else. You just have to stay out of the major urban areas to find them.

Years ago I stopped at a Cencex in Fesseden ND. They sold ammo. Low and behold they had 4 boxes of 190/303 ammo. I called my cousin and asked him he wanted them. He said no, I have 200 rounds. Even at 10$ a box.

I always thought 190 Silvertips were made of unobtanium.

Note I said these are 150's. No 190 Silver tips.

I shoot 190's in .303 and .30-30, but cast not Silvertips.

Not to add to the confusion I may have helped create, but I always wished that Winchester had sold their .303 190-grain Silvertips in bulk.

It's a moot point, Plan. Went over at lunchtime and they were gone already.

They would've had to hit all nine shops in a ten mile radius of where I am this weekend.

I have a few boxs of the 190 silver tips got them along with an A in 303, I haven't taken a 303 out hunting yet so my question would be how they worked whitetail or bear.

Years ago I bought a bunch of 165-grain Remington Core Lokts and found that there was a wide range in bullet weights per bag. I also came to the conclusion that bulk Core Lokts in .30-caliber didn't really seem to like being pushed at velocities greater than the .300 Savage - at least for purposes of putting small groups of holes on paper at 100-yards.

I missed out on the whole 190 Silvertip/.303 Savage experience. I went straight to 190 flat nose and 180 round nose cast bullets in mine. You can drive soft cast 190's at factory velocities in both .303 and .30-30- with all the benefits at pennies per shot and equal or better accuracy. What's not to like? smile
