    Alco make a 150gr alloy tip but it's not one of those. Maybe a Winchester silver tip?

    Looks like a Winchester silver tip.
    Used them years ago, they put big holes in things.

    I still have three boxes from the 1950/60s that the old man used in his 300 Savage.

    They were the latest and greatest back in the day.
