No Lube Groove (NLG)-Button Nose Wad Cutter (BNWC) Profile.
148 Grain
Sized to .358
OAL .581 +/-
These bullets are cast from 92-6-2 alloy (BHN 16) and are then coated in Hi-Tek coating
The non-lube groove (NLG) bullet profile has a longer driving band and may result in greater accuracy.

Superb accuracy and function. I load these base up (upside down) and flush in the top of the case to shoot in my S&W Model 52. Acme’s 148 grain NLG – No Lube Groove – design seats much better than the various poly coated lube grove bullets in my Star progressive press. I find lube grove bullets shave while being seated in the .38 case if not perfectly upright. My testing indicates the Acme coated bullets do not lead the barrel and keyhole like the classic 148 grain Star swaged HBWC that I’ve used for 4 decades.
