Winchester Ballistic Silvertip - 10/26/04
Hey guys, I was in the store yesterday and saw a good deal on some ammo so I picked up a few boxes. One in particular was Winchester Supreme 168gr Ballistic Silvertip in .308. It was only 17 bucks so I grabbed up a box to try in my BLR. Has anyone out here tried this bullet out? I'm betting it will shoot pretty good in the BLR, but I'm more interested in anyone's experience with the bullet's perfomance on Whitetail sized game? I've heard that the newer Ballistic tips are better than the older ones, and the .30 cal and up are fine. I guess I'm just a little concerned about bullet blow up at short ranges, ie under 50yds. I've heard horror stories of Ballistic tips leaving only superficial wounds at close distances? Anyone out there have any real experience witht this bullet in particular? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />
