300 WSM Ammo Identification

[ShortMountain91]

Got given some ammo from my neighbor who's moving. He says it's all factory but doesn't remember specifics. He says the hollow point round is a Berger bullet. All are stamped Winchester on the brass (see photo). Anyone know specifics on this ammo by a picture?

The last picture is a "Ballistic Silvertip".

Yep agree on that one. I think the one with the red tip is the expedition big game accubond ct. Does anyone know if Winchester ever loaded factory with Berger bullets?

The bottom two are Winchester Premium ( I can't remember what the red tipped ones where called). not sure on the top other then its a Boat tail

I think the red tips are fail safe,


I have yet to be begin to procrastinate.

I have some Winchester like with red tips that are called "Accubond CT", but the tip isn't translucent- it's solid.

I have all of those in my hoard. Top is an Hsm 185 berger
Middle is Winchester supreme 180 accubond ct
Bottom us Winchester 180 ballistic silvertip.

Pics not loading, I'll try later

Top pic is a Berger VLD. If it’s factory ammunition it could be HSM. The next is Winchester Accubond CT, and the bottom is a Winchester Ballistic Tip. Both the Accubond CT and the Ballistic Tip are essentially Nosler bullets with a Lubalox coating made specifically for Winchester.

The translucent red tip are the discontinued Winchester XP3 bullets, the successor to the Failsafe.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Special shout out to BCsteve since I think he hit the nail on the head with the discontinued xp3. It does have the translucent tip instead of the solid accubond tip
