Not exactly, a three wire type SE cable on an existing installation is
legal, but a 10-2 type NM with bare ground was never legal

I should have said "the 4th wire, if there is one, (green) can be bare".
You only have 3 wires, so it they must all be insulated.

which is Black, White, Bare ground. Obviously the black and White are
the 1150 feed but will the bare ground work instead of a white common
wire.



No, the third wire (white) on a dryer circuit has to be insulated. The
4th wire (green) can be bare.
