Need help identifying this .30-30 ammo

[Willerton]

I recently upgraded my office/gun room (thank you thank you) and was forced to go through my paraphernalia that I have accumulated in the short time I have been reloading. Impressive how quickly that stuff adds up! Anyway, I came across this old round in my ammo storage and I don't know what it is and don't remember where I got it. It's stamped W•W and appears to have an aluminum tip. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

They had a real hard name to remember. Silver Tip. I shot hundreds of them in their day.

Looks like one of the old Winchester "silver tips". I've seen some boxes in older mom-and-pop type stores kicking around; not in .30-30 though (usually 308).

Looks like a Winchester "Silver-Tip".


*Funny! No replies when I started typing!*

Yep, Winchester Silvertip. 170gr. If I remember correctly.

Winchester silver tip for sure. I think I still have a box of it in the gun room.

Winchester Silver Tip. I've got 3 boxes in 180g 30-06 I've never used.

I still have 7 or 8 boxes of 30 06 180 silver tips and a half dozen or so in 308. good shooting ammo.

I think its a Winchester silvertip in 30-30, but I could be wrong.

Had a bunch in .303 brit

Well, and here I thought I had something special! Shows what I know. I'll stick to being happy with my new room lol. Thanks a bunch everyone!

Clearly it's werewolf defence ammo.

Clearly it's werewolf defence ammo.

THAT'S why they didn't do anything when I shot those vampires! I totally didn't realize it was for werewolves

 

[stampede]

I'm going to stick my neck out and guess it is a silvertip.

 

[FLHTCUI]

I'll admit it that Im just ''spitballing'' here, but it looks like a WW SilverTip...
Could be wrong though
Got any more and are you going to shoot it/them?

Fabulous things those Silvertips. Blew a ground hog into the next year(entire off side was mush.) with a 220 out of my M1 Rifle(no damage whatsoever so relax. snicker.), long ago.
It's a semi-jacketed, SP, bullet with a thin AL cap. Winchester made an entire line of 'em from wee .25 ACP up to I forget what, but there were several weights of .308" ST's. Had a few .45 ACP ST's. Bought a bunch of 150's and loaded 'em into .308 with deer in mind. Your's might be a 170 or a 150. Real cryin' shame they stopped making 'em. The current Ballistic ST line is nothing like those.
Al is no good for either werewolves or vampires. Geezuz!
