"Are you getting your information from the Winchester specs, or have you actually shot the Silvertip ammo over a chronograph? I ask because I have heard numerious times that in actual shooting the Winchester ammo doesn't reach the claimed velocity, therefor it also doesn't produce the claimed energy."
In a 5" Colt Delta Elite the Winchester Silver Tips will go around 1,200 fps (Ballistics By the Inch tested it at 1,209 fps) for 568 ft lbs. Not sure what Winchester claims, but clearly it's not getting 650 ft lbs..
