Default Winchester supreme Balistic silvertips

I seem to be having pretty good luck with these in my 300WSM and just wondering what other guys thought of these bullets. I dont reload so I am a strickly over the counter shooter. Not cheap but they do look pretty sexy with the silver casing and black bullet

Default BST's

I prefer the Accubonds in calibers for big game and I leave the BST's for my 243 for predators. But if they work for you, stick with them!

I use the 55's and the 95's in a .243, very slick looking. The '06 in a 168 is very neat lookin' as well!

Have a browning A-bolt .270. Tried all different sorts of ammo, but the silvertips in 150 have shot the best so far. Not great, but the best so far. Of course, they are the most expensive ammo I tried. Figures.

Deadly in the 55 and the 95 gr in my .243. 55's @ 3800 for dogs amd the 95's are stable and deadly on deer @ 3150. 7mm-08 likes them too. Very accurate.
