![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/IMG_0903_zpspvdrtjvr.jpg) The old timer I bought them from had written on the Hornady box that they were .375 solid nose 300gr. bullets. I weighed them and they are 300 grains, but other than that I don't know????? Any help would be nice. I plan on selling these and all I know is what was written on the box. Thanks..

Hey BSA,
Those appear to be the old Hornady 300 gr FMJ bullets.

I wonder how old those are? They look like something Hornady might have made, but the noses are not as round as the ones Midway was selling in the 90s.

According to my friend, they were made in the late 60's... This is his writing on the inside of the box..: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/IMG_0908_zps7i2u7kju.jpg) He says they are hell for stout bullets...

Who uses 375 Solids anymore? I do, mostly for fun shooting, all my heavy medium to big bores have iron sights and scopes in QD rings. As a matter of fact, just today I developed a solid load for the pre-64 375 I got from BSA, 81 grs RL-17 under a 300 gr BBW#13 solid went 2699 fps. Fired three under an inch from the bench at 50 yards, center was good, just a bit high, I'll check my solid mounted scoped pre-64's and see if one of those has a bit taller front sight to bring this 375 load down a touch. Popping a scope off and walking your farm with a set of sticks shooting iron sights has been one of my favorite things to do for over 20 years now.

Who uses 375 Solids anymore? I was using 285 grain soft points on Prairie dogs. I'm thinking those bullets didn't expand appropriately. Could have just as well used solids, I guess. 
I prefer classic.

I'm glad the rifle is working out for you. Can't wait for you to take it to Africa... . That rifle is just begging to go and don't be afraid to use some of those 300gr. partitions. They'll knock the hell out of anything on 4 legs on this gods green earth!!!!

They'll knock the hell out of anything on 4 legs on this gods green earth!!!! You bet BSA, I found a taller front sight on one of my scope sighted pre-64's last night, switched it out and BOOM, 300 gr solids head dead on at 25 as well as 50 yards, tweaked the rear sight to the right a touch and busted pinwheel center with my last shot. I'll get the final zero with the old 3X leupold and soft points in a few days. And HELL yes, I have absolutely ZERO concerns shooting a heavy for caliber partition at any game animal suited to be shot with a soft point, they have never let me or my many friends that hunt a hell of a lot more than I do down, that's going back at least 30 years. I'll get these softs shot up and build a load with the 300 gr partition, should be in the neighborhood of 2700 fps with RL-17 as well, with it I'll have to return to Africa and see just what it WONT do.

Hey, that's cool you got your front sight taken care of. I was hoping it would be an easy swap.

Oh, those poor bastids.... Don't use that 3x Leupold with the heavy #4 reticle. It will cover them up, but works damn well on elephant....

LOL, I'll use just that, with a message, "Hello mr or mrs deer, I have a delivery for you from BSA, Dirtfarmer and BobinNH............BOOM!"  Bet I can keep clear deer hair out to 200 or so with those big wires ;]
