The old Silvertip was my favorite load in my 3030, I hated they changed them.

The current ballistic Silvertips are nothing more than a Nosler Ballistic Tip with a grey plastic tip and black luboox coating.
Made by Nosler and marketed by Winchester.

Made by Nosler and marketed by Winchester. WINNER! Its the loathed, reviled, hated and heathenistic ballistic tip......but with a black coating and a silver tip. Same freakin' bullet the Aldeer bunch has declared worthless, and disparages (perhaps?) as much as the 6.5 CM. BUT....ya gotta hand it to the good marketing by Winchester, Combined Technologies/Nosler.

Made by Nosler and marketed by Winchester. This...and they are fine deer killers. Sometimes there’s just not a good blood trail regardless of the bullet type. I’ve tracked several my buddy shot with this exact round in a 280 and the blood trails were excellent.

But then again.....accubonds could be considered ballistic tips, like the SST could be, and the interbond could be. Or the TTSX, or the ELD-X, or the SMK or SGK etc etc etc. They have a plastic/polymer/ballistic tip.
Accubonds are not constructed the same as the NBT. Like the SST isn't constructed the same as the interbond.

I bought some for my 30:06 but neither my Ruger didn't like them. When I gave my daughter my Savage 30:06 the silvertips went with it. My daughter went to the range and was hitting steel plate at 250yds. It appears the Savage likes Winchester, go figure.

I have run them in my 300 win mag for a long time. I usually pin both shoulders. I haven't had to trial too many, but I have just plain missed a few. I like how they have worked. Hunters on these forums can downgrade any bullet ever made, the nuts and bolts comes down to "are you confident in it." Buy a few different bullets and shoot them into plastic milk jugs and wet reams of paper. (Too bad they aren't making the large yellow pages anymore). See what you like the best and where it patterns for your gun. Be confident in your bullet, cartridge and placement, and forget all the rest of us. FYI, hit the right bone, in the right way, and any bullet will deform and look like it didn't function correctly. Personally, I'm not looking for major blood loss, I'm looking for him to go down.

I like them in every caliber. They’ll make a 243 “double deadly” if that was a thing. They do well at close range and my brother use to drop them regularly at 300+ In 243 caliber. I use them in 7-08. Don’t fret
