Midway USA has what appears to be Hornady 375 blems at a good prices, also other blems for quite a few other calibers. Priced well for practice if so inclined.
 
In the clearance section?

I have shot a lot of boxes of blems and for the price you really can't beat them, the 375s that Midway has shoot fine, I also bought some Speer Blems for my 338 and could not believe how tight my groups were, Oh it was a used target I save money wherever I can

I have shot literally hundreds of .375 blems working up a load for my rifle. They are good for what they do. I'll be loading bullets that have passed inspection for my hunt but for practice they can't be beat. I recently shot a .850 three shot group at 100 with some so they work. What kind are they and can you pick your blemish? If so, for spire points pick ones with heavy noses. Usually this is just a smear of lead on the jacket .
 
Just ordered 150. Have used them in the past with no issues. These are solids, previously they were soft nose. I don't expect to be any different for what I use them for.
 
I bought the .375 Round nose blems just for practice with the .375H&H. Using Reloder 17 from Alliant they shoot really well and they actually look pretty good too! I don't notice any "blemishes" on them... They may just be internal though, maybe jacket thickness is off or the lead core was not the right alloy. I don't know. All I know is that with 78 grains RL17 (not advocating this load for liability reasons) It shoots really well.
 
I've been shooting those blemished bullets for over a decade. Last couple of thousand I bought were going for $9/100, cheaper than cast at the time.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
