Silvertip vs Bronze Point
Question:
Both the Silvertip and the Bronze Point have reputations for rapid expansion. If you’re hunting deer or elk, I’d suggest going with a premium bullet like the Nosler Partition or the Trophy Bonded. They both expand well, but they have a very good reputation for not breaking up if bone is struck. Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/
Response:
Anyone have any hunting experiences using Winchester’s Silvertip and Remington’s Bronze Point? Are they constructed similarily and similar characteristics. I only have had experience with Silvertips and found the following: 1. Very very accurate in 180 grain 30.06 factory load (1 MOA out of my Rem 700) 2. Solid base / no boatail 3. Has reputation as a penetrator (contorled expansion) 4. Can’t buy component for long rifle anymore (.308 CAL) I am interested in Bronze Points as I can still buy these a component bullets.
