For what it's worth, my RMR 124 grain truncated cone (they call them "match winner") bullets have been noticeably more accurate out of my Hi Power than any round nose design.
The 124 gr. Truncated Cone was the original ammo designed for the P-08 Luger .
During WWI some country complained the flat nosed TC 124 grain German bullet killed too well ... That's funny ... it killed too well in a war ... so they had to change to a more humane , less lethal "round nose" and drop the weight to 115 grains .
Paul ,I cast a 125 gr. truncated cone bullet for the 9MM. Worked just fine in two 9mm handguns but wouldn't quite chamber in the number three gun, a Taurus PT99. Seating the bullet slightly deeper cured that problem and accuracy was unaffected in the other two gun. I also cast a 125 gr. round nose bullet for the 9MM but it is less accurate in all three guns.

for me, i can max the loads out and keep them subsonic. while I do wear good ear pro, not having a sonic boom still reduces noise exposure over all. I am also working on a trust to get certain muzzle accessories, hopefully early next year. and subsonic really helps with those.Why go to the heavier bullet?
I shoot 125-grain lead cast round nose bullets and after 35,000 have never had a problem.
Not to mention lighter recoil and better accuracyfor me, i can max the loads out and keep them subsonic. while I do wear good ear pro, not having a sonic boom still reduces noise exposure over all.
