Hello AR Colleagues,

I picked up two unopened boxes of old-stock Barnes solids in .375, 250 grain weight thinking they were what one would expect in a .375 caliber solid (flat nose or rounded). I neglected to read "spitzer" on the boxes, as it was covered up by a price tag so imagine my surprise when I got them home, opened up one box and this is what I see:



What the hell?!? What does one use a solid brass .375 spitzer for?!? I would imagine they'd be EXTREMELY accurate as a long range bullet, however I'm not sure what practical purpose they would serve aside from a target bullet. Also not sure how secure the bullet would be in the shell (second or third in the magazine) after firing the rifle, as there is no cannelure in which to crimp.

Do any of you have experience with these bullets? Not quite sure what to do with them, as I have 100 on hand and no real plan for them. I'm sure they'd be entertaining to fire at bolders 1000 yards out...

Thanks,

john

Braining Elephants at 700 yards?

Shoot them at the really little stuff. Apparently, they're popular for very small animals so you can use the same rifle and not destroy the critter—just kill it.

375 Cheytac I'd guess.

Anyone interested in trading some TSX's, Accubonds, Solids, Interlocks, Partitions, etc. in .375 for these? I'm not sure I'd find a use for them.

Tyler Kemp: How about these bad boys in that new blaster you just built- I'm sure you could "shoot stuff from a long ways" with them!!!
