Indeed they will. Those bullets were made for Winchester. That are the Ballistic Silver Tips with out the Lubalox black coating.

Those look like the combined technology bullets just missing the black coating.

I had and shot some gray tipped 95gr BT in the last 243 Win I had, and they grouped well. Even killed a deer or two. Dan.

I still have some 160 7mm accubonds with red tips. They were overruns.

I so wanted to emulate the "Blue Cyclones" in 25-06 made famous here by Guy. My SPS blem sacks were all grey tipped. I got over it.

Sounds right to me. Red Devils!The Red Devils.
Guy coined the Blue Cyclone and the Green Hornet.

According to a guy at the 6.8 Western Facebook group Winchester isn't going to coat the BST anymore with the black coating. Looks like they just might have the gray tip from now on.

IMO...
That's rhe perfect bullet for the 308
It does everything extremely well.
Like a 180 gr in a 30 cal magnum charged cartridge that does everything perfectly well...
That 168 does beautiful things from the 308 and also the odd 6 truth be told.

Agree, I'm running the 168 BT/ABLR in my 308.
Both shoot sub .5 MOA and drop deer in their tracks.

Time will tell but he apparently talked to Winchester personally and that's what they said. Some guys have used some recently manufactured 170 gr Ballistic Silver Tip 6.8 Western factory loads that came with no coating.
