Best Uses

Heavy Silvertips earn their keep on bulls, big-bodied mule deer and black bear. The long boat-tail shape holds speed out past 300 yards, which helps on a western basin hunt. Hunters with only one rifle and one load often pick Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 30-06 180gr rounds because they can also take a whitetail without trouble. Start with a 100-yard zero. Then shoot at 200 and 300 and tape your drop numbers to the stock. If recoil is a concern for a young shooter, the lighter 150-grain Silvertip is easier on the shoulder.
