Worst bullet failure I’ve ever experienced was with one in a 7mm REM Mag. Small buck deer, hit him square on the shoulder as he ran past me. Bullet blew up on impact. I think the deer died of shock because there was zero penetration. Never used them again and went to Noslers after that experience. That was back in the mid 80’s.

Actual Silvertips were never made in 7mm caliber, only the misnamed ballistic silvertips, which are/were nothing more than a nosler ballistic tip.

Jerry I’ve seen these in the wild myself but never fired one of them. I know if I happened to run across them, I'd for sure give them a good home.
