FYI-I contacted Winchester ammunition earlier this week about the availability of their 175gr silvertip load. They replied today all they could tell me is that it is out of stock and that production is slated for later this year.
They can keep it! ;)
That Federal Trophy Bond stuff is way better.

I can't find any of that either.
I think my Underwood delta elite gold dots have them both beat.

Are they still loading them with Gold dots?
I stocked up a while back still have about 300 plus of them.
My local dealer has a case of the Federal Trophy Bonded... I like MY loads with a 200g WFNGC thank you. :)
BUT I would buy a couple hundred 175G ST BULLETS for reloading in a NY MINUTE!
ST AMMO has also always been a stand by!

If silver tips become available I will buy some also.
21 Carrier was loading Silvertips hot and firing them into tubes filled with wax.
We don't see him around the forums anymore. I guess the blonde won out over us 10mm guys. :P
Was that here or Glock Talk? I think many have left there including me ;)
I think I still have a bunch of ST in 155 grin and 175.. I bought a bunch a few years back when they were easier to get.. I probably still have 500 of the 155 and 1K of the 175. I load them hot with new brass in .40 & 10mm .. I also use golden sabres for premium hot loads.

I have seen most of his work and probably spoke to him at one point in time. Someone should invite him here.

I shot a med sized buck two years back with my speedy hand load and a 175 ST. ;D The bullet went in in front of the shoulder, took out two vertabre and exited behind the shoulder with a good sized exit hole.
Back when it was one of the only performance bullets it worked well, its lasted all this time because it WORKS!!
Aegis, would you think about selling or trading a couple hundred 175's to me? ;)

I am pretty sure Shadow has given him an invite already.

Sounds like good performance down range.
When Silver Tips become available I will stock up.
