Around 1990 a local Wal-Mart began clearing out their Winchester Silvertips. I have no idea why as they were very popular at the time.

I bought several boxes and still have some. As good as they were I think there have been improvements made since then.

Silvertips were made by Winchester (only) and, depending on the caliber, could have been a lead core with either all-aluminum jacket or plated copper jacket. They made a slew of ‘em. IIRC, the smallest 38-Spl W-W Silvertip bullet was 85 grains. (For short-barreled revolvers).
