I don't have any personal experience with the 220 grain bullet in the .30-06, but i do have a reasonable amount of experience with the 7x57 and 175 gr. bullet. As far as I can determine, they are a scaled version of each other. About the same velocity, sectional density, ballistic coefficient and trajectory. Just a little difference in bullet diameter and weight.
The 7x57 / 175 gr load has worked with perfect satisfaction for me while hunting moose, elk, whitetail deer, and wolf. Good penetration, reasonable expansion, and quick kills from 10-250 yards.
I have a few boxes of Winchester factory loads in 30-06 loaded with the 220 grain silver tip bullets. I like they way they look, and they shoot accurately enough for my hunting. Although the silvertip is one of my least favourite of the old-time cup and core bullet designs because of the limits of the jacket design, the heavier weight makes up for any deficiency. I may just load my rifle with them next season and go tip over a moose. I know they will work OK, and it seems like the right thing to do. Can't think of any reason not to use them or a similar bullet for kudu or gemsbok or zebra if the range is not too long.
