Winchester Silvertip Bullets

dodrew97
I have some Winchester Silvertip Bullets and I am having problems finding reloading data on them. These are the original silvertip bullets not the ballistic silvertip that Nosler is manufacturing now. If someone could please help me it will greatly appreciated.

    Get a good loading manual and find the caliber and weight that are same as your bullet and use the recommended starting charge. The old STs were very conventional in there construction, except for the tip cap, so data for any of the similar bullets should be just fine.

    The WW Olin loading manuals provided data for both the Power Points and Silvertips. these were free from WW-Olin and the loading data may still be available at their website- Or if not, let me know the cartridge and bullet & Ican post the listed data.

    If you're talking the difference between a 145gr Silvertip and a 158gr "normal" bullet for .357Mag; I use the standard data, minus 2 grains of Blue Dot. But that's just me.

    I have spoken with Winchester and they do not have any data on this. Winchester referred me to Lyman. I would deeply appreciately any data that you can give me on this. I am loading 150 grain and 180 grain silvertips for 300 Weatherby Mag and 300 Win Mag. I also have some 130 grain and 140 grain for 270 Winchester. Once Thanks for any help you can provide me.
