An old friend of mine used to use 220 grain Silvertip in his 300 h&h Bet that was a thumper, good for about anything.

I’ve have bought a factory load in 45 years, but used Remington ammo before that

Half of a good story here. I’ve got some older Silvertip 30-06 rounds and they look cool as heck. Conversely, the 180gr Round Nose CL ‘06 lays claim to “The Deadliest Mushroom in the Woods.” Each is a part of history. I love ‘em both. Almost too beautiful to shoot.

As a kid I thought all deer hunting ammo was Remington CoreLockt. That's all our group used and between 30-06s, 30-30s and my Dad's 8X57 they were all, always round nosed. They all, always worked.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

I load almost all of my own ammo and have numerous boxes of both bullets in .30, .32, .348 and .35 caliber. I love both in the old bullets that I have , pre 1970 , but have only used the new bullets in the .35 Remington shooting the 200 gr Rn . They have always worked well for me and the new 200 grain .358 worked perfectly on the buck I killed in November. Don't know much about them compared to the newer premium bullets as I have stuck with the stuff I started with 50 or so years ago and never had a reason to want to quit. I scrounge for old boxes of both bullets regularly and is about the only reason I go to a gun show anymore.
Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch . Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Don't bother my monument and I'll leave yours alone.
