I don't use them currently but I have used them in days gone by. They were a reliable and efficeint hunting bullet.

I used some silvertips back in the 90's in a 300 Win, but they were heavies. I want to say they were 220g, they put the lights out on game.
If I were to bet, I'd say the 150 is designed to open much easier, and may not have the desired effect on big game out of a 300. Someone on here will know!

I have cases of 300 win mag in 150, 180 and 220g silvertips in the yellow winchester box
I shoot them. My parker hale shoots them very well
I mostly use them for bears. I find the silvertip hold together thru the shoulders and normally penetrates both shoulders of a bear......which is what i want

Good to know my buddy uses the 150's for deer, I always used them for a 30-30 back in the day wasn't sure they could take 300 Win mag velocity.

Can't be any good, they're not a "Premium" brand.

Interlocks were, and are an excellent game getter, and a great value, even by todays prices.
