ACME Bullet Co.

[Hondo 60]

I have no financial or personal interest in ACME Bullet Co.
I'm just a happy customer.

I ordered 500 - 124 gr Hi-Tek coated .355" bullets.
These have no lube groove. They aren't designed for lube.

Ordered on 11/27 - arrived 12/2.
The packing was a bit unusual.

They arrived in a really nice old time-looking wooden box.
A 2nd much smaller box was also included.

The 2nd box had some candy in it.
A cherry Tootsie roll pop, a piece of bubble gum, a roll of Smarties & 2 root beer barrels.
Had to chuckle about the candy.

The bullets are bright red - their website mentions lipstick bullets.
This is my 2nd order, as the 1st went just as smooth.

The bullets themselves look nice & were as accurate as I could shoot them.
I have three 9mm guns - All 3 like these

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only negative is that they don't offer .358" 125gr coated.
They offer a 148 gr WC & a 158gr SWC..
For some reason my .38 Spl doesn't care for 158 gr bullets.

Shot well.

I ordered 500 - 124 gr Hi-Tek coated .355" bullets.

Ordered on 11/27 - arrived 12/2.

Are they in fact .355"? Their web site says they're .356".

I have ordered 124gr Hi-Tek coated bullets from 2 other sources and both brands measured a consistent .3565".

Wow, those are bright!
If you're looking for a coated .358"/125, I've been using Blue Bullets 125 RN with good results in my 357 and my buddy's 38. I crimp on the nose.

Bought 500 158gr SWC's from Acme. Shooting a bunch tomorrow.

I like the 158 grain SWC lipstick bullets. I would buy from them again.

Ok, somebody has to ask. Are these the same bullets that Wile E. Coyote uses?

 

[Walkalong]

Well, if they were around back then, you know he would. Of course he would always miss, and make them look bad, so marketing probably wouldn't let them sell him any for that reason.

Ive shot about 5000 of the 147gr and 124gr 9mm bullets. Good stuff. The HiTek coating is smoother than anything else Ive seen.

They are also local to me, and I like to support local businesses when I can.

Kaldor- do you know if they have a storefront where they sell their bullets? I've bought them at Midwest Shooters in Lomira, but driving to Germantown would be MUCH closer.

Tried calling them to ask, but they never returned my call.

Better ask him soon, as they are gettin' a little long in the tooth.....

Wishoot-They have a list of stores on their website that stock their bullets so you should be able to find one a little bit closer.
Edit: They actually list a store in Germantown as one of their dealers, a place called Ron's Gun Shop

Based on several posts over on the web site run by Brian Enos I recently decided to try some Acme bullets in one of my 357's. This was my first experience using coated bullets in any caliber. I ordered 100 of their 158 SWC's and loaded them in new Starline Brass over 4.8 grains of W231. Shot them at 25 yards from a rest with my S&W 327 R8 with a 2x scope mounted on it. The scope is normally mounted on a Super Blackhawk but the rails on the R8 make it easy to mount different optics so that's what I do when I'm testing for accuracy. Otherwise I shoot the R8 with iron sights as it's the gun I use for shooting steel. I found the accuracy to be slightly better than the 158 Gr. RimRocks I've been using and cleanup of the gun afterwards was much easier. I liked them enough to order 2500 more. YMMV.
