ACME 38 (.358) 105gr FP BULLET COATED 500/BX

The bullets I received are different from those in the picture so I don't know if this picture on the website is wrong or if the manufacturer packed something slightly different in the box. The ones I got look very similar but have no crimp groove or lube groove as in the picture but are of the same profile. What I was able to do is crimp them over the driving band and still get the correct COL.. They shot very well with three different powders I used for Test Loads - W231- 700X & Power Pistol in 357 mag. I would have gave them 5 Stars except for them not being the same as the picture.

I take these and run them nose first through a .356" Lee bullet sizing die and load in the 9 mm. Work beautifully. No damage to bullet or coating during sizing due to the push through nature of the die. I seat to just a hair above the crimp groove and do the customary taper crimp. Nice light bullet for the 9 mm. Feed great due to the truncated cone nose profile.
