Silvertip is pretty much obsolete now.  It had fairly reliable expansion,
but tended to fragment into smaller peices.  The new Remington Golden Saber
ammo is brass jacketed, much harder, so though the new bullet design is a
fairly reliable expander, the mushroomed bullet stays together in one
peice, so as to penetrate all the way through & out the other side (2 holes
to bleed from).

That shouldn't be too hard to find.  However, in today's political climate
it is good to stock away plenty of ball ammo (FMJ).  The cheapest is
usually the Remington, Winchester or Federal military style ammo in the
generic-looking boxes.  Should be $14/bx or a little more, especially if
you order it in the 500 rd cases.  A couple or 4 spare mags wouldn't hurt
either, along with a good field holster.
... They sent only 1 Texas Ranger!? There's only 1 Riot, ain't there?
