.300 H&H ammo

[rigbymauser]

Living here in Denmark one has to look hard to find ammo for what considered oddball calibers. Today I was lucky. 13 boxes of .300 H&H Winchester Silvertips.

As I recall the Silvertip was known to blow-up, but for smaller softskinned game I ain`t worried....and for $350 what does one get in these times?....

Your Silvertips will also work on any plains game in Africa.

I was fortunate enough to hunt a huge eland bull in 1982 with a pre '64 Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in .300 Holland & Holland Magnum (loaded with pre '74 made 220Gr Winchester Silver Tips). Photo can be seen on my media page.

The early Winchester Silver Tip bullets had a jacket which was made from a mixture of copper, zinc & nickel. These were absolutely fantastic. Then, in 1974 ... Winchester (in an attempt to cut corners and reduce manufacturing costs) switched the jacket material to aluminum. The new Winchester Silver Tips became notorious for expanding too quickly on game without proper penetration.

The lesson here is that whenever a company begins to sell products after reducing manufacturing costs, run the other way and never turn back. This will never end well.

What are the criminal laws like Denmark??? Because you stole those things. Lol.

Congrats of a great find. It’s worth buying for the brass alone.

That is a good buy. Hope they are old style silver tips. I have heard and know people who have used them in 375 h&h on brown bears successfully.
