[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4720054, member: 12277"] I would have thought the Winchester Deer Season XP bullets were a copy of the old Silver Tips too but looking at their website it is a totally different concept. The Deer Season bullet has a larger flat nose on the end of the actual bullet with a plastic tip sitting on top of the lead core, the two pieces held together only by the jacket. In other words, it's not a hollow point where the cavity holds the tip to the rest of the bullet. First thing that jumped out at me when i looked at the design is how similar it is to a lot of cast bullets designed for hunting which rely on a large meplate to transfer energy rather than just expansion. Having seen how effective the cast bullets can be even a modest velocity, I have no doubt the Winchester Deer Season ammo will work well. I have old catalogs from back in the 1970's too but finding them when I want to is a whole different matter. That's the problem with keeping everything. How do you organize it so that you can search through it? :) If you have 5 boxes of the ammo and it shoots good in your rifle, that's enough to hunt with for years. You can use other ammo for regular shooting. [/QUOTE]
