First, why don' t you see if you can buy his reloading equipment since he' s not going to be using it, and find out what recipes he used for your handloads and just duplicate them?

Winchester Supreme Silvertips are basically ballistic tips. Also, Federal loads Ballistic Tips in their Premium lineup. Hornady also has the SST which is a bt type bullet (though my experience with them is they are too explosive on game inside 200 yards).
