Description
When Berger set out to build a bullet for the two-mile crowd, they didn't just scale up an existing design. The .375 379 grain ELR Match Solid is a precision lathe-turned solid copper projectile developed with input from chief ballistician Bryan Litz, and it carries an optimized VLD secant ogive paired with a boat tail base to squeeze every bit of efficiency out of the flight path. This is a non-expanding solid built for one thing: punching tiny groups at distances where most bullets have long since given up.
What Sets the .375 379 gr ELR Match Solid Apart
The numbers tell the story here. This bullet runs a G1 BC of 0.951 and a G7 BC of 0.487, with a sectional density of 0.385 and an overall length of 2.236 inches. That long, sleek profile is what lets it hang onto velocity deep into the transonic range, which is exactly where ELR matches are won and lost. Solid copper construction means ultra-consistent geometry, tight weight tolerances, and the kind of concentricity that keeps things honest at extended ranges.
Getting the Most From Your 379 gr Match Solid
These bullets want a fast barrel. Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:8 inches or faster to properly stabilize the long bearing surface, and if you're pushing toward the ragged edge of the envelope, a 1:7 twist is worth a look. They're a natural fit for .375 caliber magnum-class cartridges and ELR-dedicated rifles. Since these are solids rather than jacketed match bullets, plan on spending real time at the bench working up a load, checking seating depth, and chronographing your way to a node. This is a projectile for reloaders who enjoy the process as much as the results.
If you shoot King of Two Mile style competition, ring steel at absurd distances, or just chase the challenge of stretching a .375 past 2,000 yards, this is one of the benchmark bullets in the game. It's not a plinking component, and it was never meant to be. It's a purpose-built tool for the long end of the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate do I need to stabilize the 379 gr ELR Match Solid?
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1 in 8 inches or faster for this bullet. The long bearing surface and high-BC profile need that spin to stay stable, especially as the bullet drops into the transonic range at distance. Some ELR shooters opt for a 1:7 twist to give themselves extra margin.
Are these loaded cartridges or just the bullets?
These are reloading components only, not loaded ammunition. You're getting the projectiles to load into your own .375 caliber brass. Plan on working up a dedicated load and chronographing your results to find the best accuracy node.
What is the ELR Match Solid made of?
It's a precision lathe-turned solid copper projectile, not a traditional jacketed lead-core bullet. The solid construction delivers extremely consistent geometry and tight weight tolerances, which is what helps it hold accuracy at extreme long range. It's a non-expanding design intended for target and competition use.
What kind of rifle is this .375 379 gr bullet meant for?
It's designed for .375 caliber magnum-class cartridges and rifles set up for extreme long range work. Think King of Two Mile competition, steel at 2,000 yards and beyond, and dedicated ELR builds. It's a purpose-built match projectile rather than a general-purpose hunting or plinking bullet.
