Silvertips

Lots of memories there, and only one that wasn't a good one:  those humongous kapok filled sleeping bags were never missed after lightweight bags came along.

 

I grew up with 30-06 Silver Tip and Remington Core Lokt ammo....and surplus '06 that was really cheap.  Just right for practice ammo and just shooting for fun.

I grew up hunting with 170 gr Core Lokt in 30-30.  I would have no problem using them today along with my old Marlin despite all of  the other options out there today.  Dad used the Silvertips in his Model 70 and felt they was nothing better for his 30-06.  Can't forget the wool clothing also.  Great memories with Dad.  Thank you for the post, great memories.

I've heard interesting things about these Remington mushroom bullets. Wish I had some to try.

Look at that post sticking up in the middle of the hollow point. Do you suppose Federal paid a royalty on that, when they came out with their hydra shok, and it's "brand new super deluxe hollow point design with a post in the middle"?
