Bronze points . . . . very common back in the day.
More than likely, they are 180 grain . . . not 80 grain.

Looks a bit short for 180 gr. Could just be the pic I guess.
correct, got out a bigger magnifying glass, 180Gr
Meant for those thick skinned woodchucks & coyotes, or wherever a soft or hollow point just won't do.
Bronze points along with the slightly earlier CIL Sabre Tips(nylon pointed) were the original expanding tipped bullet.
Spelling and grammar count!
The Bronze tip was made to break through bones on heavy animals where a good soft point would not penetrate.
Much like the WW Silvertip bullet, the bronze point was wedge shaped on the backend, and upon impact the hardened tip was driven back causing the bullet jacket to mushroom back. Not a particularly accurate bullet, but a good hunting bullet in it's time.

That was the first box of ammo I ever shot through my M1. It was all the store had.
