What, like nosler's ballistic tips?  I thought it was from the silver 
colored alloy they used as jacket material.  In pistols at least, I've 
never fired silvertip rifle ammo.
BTW- i recently switched from silvertips to Cor-Bon 135gr JHP in the 
defense gun.  I'm sure that interests you to no end, but i've used 
silvertips in the .40 almost exclusively as a defense round ever since I 
got the gun.  Why the change?  I like the way the 135gr expands even 
after hitting obstacles.  The silvertips I tested didn't.  I was not 
impressed.
Live and learn, huh?
Cheers!

I've

Tell me about it...  I fired those Brenneke slugs, 1 1/8 ounce, from a 
20" barrel in the 870, 1400+ fps, same approximate power factor 
(momentum) as a .338 winchester magnum in a gun of the same weight.  ANd 
I have a feeling you've loaded yours a bit hotter... :-)
