38 CAL 148 BNWC-NLG COATED

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.
