I was wondering if anyone can help me identify this bullet.

375 caliber
300 grain bullet
DAC76B56-0147-4246-A61F-C4DA3A1B18AB.jpeg
 
I don't know what it is, but I wonder what those layers are. It looks like

Outer Layer : Brass
Thin Middle Layer : Steel maybe?
Inner Core : Copper

@michael458, ever seen this "solid" before?

Is that a brass bullet with copper in the base?
 
Just got off the phone with Hornaday. They are telling me it is a non-encapsulated bullet.
 
I called Hornaday because most of the bullets that I just got are from hornaday so I took a stab at it.
 
Is it magnetic? My 220 gr hornady solids are steel jackets with copper over them.
 
I am familiar with the Punch bullet which is brass with a lead filled base. Short and dense and a great penetrator; shoots right through an ele head.
 
Could be a Hornady FMJ as they did market a brass colored bullet in the 90s. I used one box (50) of them for targeting and backup to Sledgehammers. Somewhere I have 2bullets that were used on Cape Buffalo.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
