So i am switching from 124 to 147g bullets for 9mm going forward. I am looking at berrys plated bullets as i have used them before and liked them.
Questions becomes round nose or truncated cone.
Im leaning towards truncated cone. But are there any definitive pros or cons to the bullet shape?
A few things come to mind.
1. Less aerodynamic, but at handgun ranges I would think the difference is negligible.
2. That they may have a increased risk of feeding problems in some guns due to being shaped like a hollow point.
3. That due to the design there may be a longer bearing surface creating more friction and heat and slowing the bullet down.
4. The reccomended COL is shorter for the truncated cone bullet based on berrys reccomeds col.
While my use is 147g 9mm, but i would presume this would be somewhat applicable to most handgun cartridges.
