Berger .375 407gr ELR Match Solid Bullets

Berger .375 407gr ELR Match Solid bullets are premium monolithic projectiles designed for Extreme Long Range shooting. They are precision lathe-turned from solid copper and feature a high-BC Secant VLD ogive profile, optimized for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, outstanding consistency, and reliable performance at extreme distances. Berger lists this model as part number 37407 with a G1 BC of 1.022 and G7 BC of 0.523.

This bullet was developed for demanding ELR applications where wind drift, velocity retention, and BC consistency are critical. The 407gr ELR Match Solid uses a long, low-drag profile with a boat-tail base, helping the bullet maintain velocity and stability far beyond typical long-range distances.

Berger’s .375 ELR Match Solid projectiles are optimized for long-range and specialty Mil/LE shooting applications out to 2,500 meters and beyond. The 407gr version was also updated by Berger with an enhanced bearing-surface design, allowing more of the bullet to be seated in the case while still reaching the rifling in suitable chambers.

Key advantages

The biggest advantage of the Berger .375 407gr ELR Match Solid is its extremely high ballistic coefficient. With a G1 BC of 1.022 and G7 BC of 0.523, this bullet offers exceptional velocity retention, reduced wind drift, and a flatter trajectory at extreme distances.

The solid copper, lathe-turned construction provides very high dimensional consistency compared to conventional jacketed bullets. This is especially important in ELR shooting, where even small variations in bullet geometry can affect vertical dispersion and long-range predictability.

The Secant VLD ogive profile is designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and maximize ballistic efficiency. This gives the bullet a strong advantage over many traditional .375 caliber projectiles with lower BC values, especially when shooting past 1,500 meters.

The updated 407gr design uses both major and minor diameter bearing surfaces. Berger states that the improved version lengthened the major diameter bearing surface by 0.125" while shortening the minor diameter by approximately the same amount. This change allows better compatibility with more chamber and throat configurations while keeping the external ballistic performance unchanged.

The boat-tail base further improves downrange performance and stability, making this bullet suitable for serious ELR competition and precision applications where predictable ballistic performance is essential.

Technical specifications

Application

Berger .375 407gr ELR Match Solid bullets are intended for Extreme Long Range shooting, precision target shooting, and advanced long-range rifle platforms chambered for high-performance .375 caliber cartridges.

They are especially suitable for cartridges and rifle systems designed around very long, high-BC .375 caliber projectiles, where maximum downrange efficiency and wind resistance are required. Due to the bullet’s long overall length of 2.347" and required 1:8" or faster twist rate, the rifle chamber, throat geometry, magazine length, and barrel twist must be verified before use.
