I think most of the silvertip line is out of production. The 357 components haven't been available for at least 4-5 years.

They cost too much to make. The tip wasn't silver, it was made out of aluminum. It didn't work any better than conventional hollow points, and were harder to make and more expensive.--Oh I already said that!:uhoh:

I purchased a couple thousand 145 Silvertips from Midway last year. I was at the SHOT Show and as of two weeks ago, the Silvertip line was alive and well. Winchester is just way behind like everybody else. I have been told that they only run them once or twice a year, so you have to grab them when you find them.

That's possible. I had info that they'd been discontinued, heard it on the internet, MUST BE TRUE!:fire::what::evil::neener:
