30 Caliber 165 grain GOLD plastic tip.

I think I bought these during one of those BIG time MidSouth bullet sales.

Who made them and what "model" are they?

Could they be Norma bullets??
Or maybe Remington Accutip.

They are the only ones I remember having a goldish tip.
If the tip is yellowish and rounded I would say Norma.
If the tip is gold, sharply pointed and the bullet looks like it is Secant Ogive [like a Hornady] it may be the Remington Accutip.

Or maybe the old Remington Bronze Point they use to sell???( or some name like that.. to compete with Ballistic Tips.. I think...) circa 1980s or so if I remember correctly...

I bought some on load factory ammo to try them out...

Boy! The Bronze Point has been around for many years! I once saw some Remington-made 7.62X54R (called 7.62mm Russian on the Rem. box.) ammo loaded with them, and that was around 1953. I do believe they date from the mid-1930's.

Last I heard, Rem. was still making them, but maybe no longer.

I'm thinking Remington Accutip--aren't they using a gold plastic tip?
