Description
The Berger ELR Match Solid in .375 caliber, 407 grain is a different animal than your standard jacketed match bullet. Dreamed up by Berger's chief ballistician Bryan Litz, these are precision lathe-turned solid copper projectiles wearing an optimized VLD secant ogive. That nose profile is the whole point: it cheats the wind and holds velocity way downrange, which is exactly what you want when the target is a mile and a half out and you only get one good wind call.
Why the 407 grain ELR Match Solid Hits So Hard Downrange
Numbers tell the story here. This 407-grain pill carries a G1 BC of 1.022 and a G7 of 0.523, with a sectional density that keeps it bucking crosswinds long after lesser bullets have gone transonic. It measures 0.375" in diameter with a 2.347" overall length, and it needs a 1:8" twist or faster to stabilize properly. Being a one-piece monolithic copper build with no lead core, it stays dimensionally true and spins up clean, which is a big deal when you're chasing single-digit ES and SD at these distances.
Dialing In the .375 ELR Match Solid for Your Rifle
This is a handloader's bullet through and through, and it's a natural fit for the .375 CheyTac and similar big-bore wildcats running that 1:8 or tighter twist. There's published load data out there pairing it with slow, temperature-stable powders and magnum primers, so you've got a solid starting point before you ever touch your seating die. Give yourself room to work the seating depth against the lands since the secant ogive can be particular about where it likes to sit.
What the ELR Match Solid Was Born For
Berger developed these for one job: ringing steel at extreme distance. It's a non-expanding solid, so it's built for punching targets and holding its line past 2,000 yards rather than hunting. If you're building loads for serious long-range competition or just want to see how far your rig can reach, this is one of the projectiles that put the discipline on the map.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate do the Berger ELR Match Solid 407 gr bullets need?
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:8" or faster to stabilize this 407-grain solid. Because solids are longer for their weight than jacketed bullets, a tighter twist is worth considering if you're pushing them at the top end of the velocity window. Running too slow a twist will cost you accuracy and downrange stability.
What cartridges are these ELR Match Solid bullets used in?
The .375 caliber ELR Match Solid is a popular choice for the .375 CheyTac and similar large-bore ELR wildcats. There's a good amount of published load data pairing the 407-grain version with slow-burning, temperature-stable powders and magnum primers. Any .375 bore running the proper twist is a candidate.
Are these Berger bullets good for hunting?
No, these are non-expanding match solids built strictly for target work at extreme range. They're designed to hold their line and ring steel past 2,000 yards, not to expand on game. For hunting you'd want a bullet designed for terminal expansion.
Is the Berger ELR Match Solid loaded ammunition or a component bullet?
This is a component projectile for handloading, not loaded ammunition. You'll be seating these into your own brass with your chosen powder and primer. The box contains 50 bullets ready to load.
