Coated bullets and lube grooves?

Wandered into Recob's late this afternoon and they had just received a shipment of the ACME coated "lipstick" bullets.
They were still cataloging them.
I picked up a couple hundred 240 SWC 44's.
The coating looks almost identical to the MBC but about twice as thick.
Weight is 237 and the 2 I weighed were within .1 grain.
Coating must weigh less than the now missing lube.
Diameter is very close to the advertised .430" maybe over by .5 mil.
For some reason they used a much bigger box than their regular 100's.
Bullets come in a heat sealed plastic bag inside which is a nice touch.
I was able to fit 200 in this box by dumping them out of the bags.

Bear Creek has had a moly coated grooveless .452" RNHB for some time. It's one of my favorites for ACP range fodder.

Missouri Bullet just came out with this grooveless coated 215gr WFN for .45 ACP & .460 Rowland. I have a similar SAECO mold with standard lube groove and the powder coated boolits work great. The WFN is a tight fit in SIG P220 magazines though.
