Product Overview
Winchester's Silvertip pushes a 150-grain bullet at 2390 feet per second with 1902 foot-pounds of energy. The Silvertip design uses an alloyed lead tip that initiates controlled expansion while providing better aerodynamics than flat-nose bullets. With a 0.232 ballistic coefficient, this load shoots slightly flatter than standard Power-Point ammunition while remaining safe for tubular magazines.
The controlled expansion characteristics distinguish the Silvertip from more aggressive designs. Rather than opening rapidly like a hollow point, the Silvertip expands progressively, balancing wound channel diameter with penetration depth. This makes it effective across a broader range of shot angles, as the bullet retains enough mass to reach vitals even when quartering shots require traveling through more tissue.
Deer hunters who occasionally push shots beyond typical .30-30 distances appreciate the Silvertip's improved ballistics. The streamlined nose cuts through air more efficiently than flat-point designs, maintaining velocity better at extended range. For hunters in mixed terrain who might encounter both close timber shots and occasional longer opportunities across clearings, the Silvertip offers versatility that pure brush-country bullets lack.
- Improved ballistic coefficient of 0.232 provides flatter trajectory than standard flat-nose loads, reducing holdover requirements at moderate distances.
- Controlled expansion design balances wound channel size with penetration depth, performing consistently across varying shot angles and distances.
- Alloyed lead tip resists deformation in the magazine better than exposed soft points, maintaining consistent flight characteristics shot after shot.
- Decades of field use have proven the Silvertip's reliability on deer-sized game across North America.
- Premium positioning means higher cost than standard Power-Point loads, despite relatively modest ballistic improvement within typical .30-30 ranges.
- The controlled expansion that aids penetration also produces smaller wound channels than more aggressive hollow point or polymer-tipped designs.
- Not as widely stocked as basic Super-X ammunition—hunters in rural areas may need to order rather than finding it on local shelves.
