Well that seems a little bit heavy handed. JMR40 never claimed to be an expert, and everything we type is an opinion, and should be treated as such.
JMR's explanation makes sense to me.
The link you provided shows that there are round nose heavy-for-caliber bullets. They exist. However, any heavy bullet has to put that mass somewhere, assuming we are comparing it to a lighter bullet of the same construction and materials. A 124 grain round nose bullet will have a smaller point / meplat than a flat point of the same weight, and be longer/taller. Let's say the factory loading includes a powder that fills up right under the base of a 124 grain bullet. This way the ignition is more consistent and doesn't dependent on position.
Then all the sudden you switch to a 147 or 158 grain projectile like in your link. That projectile is going to be longer. Unless they switch powders or elongate the overall length, you would have a compressed load which may yield inconsistent results. Having a flat nose will shorten the overall length of the projectile, giving the loader a bit more wiggle room to keep things within the maximum allowed overall length. Load a round too long and it definitely won't fit in a magazine or won't chamber. For an individual loader who already has a working load, a flat nose/truncated cone may give the flexibility in overall length needed to keep the same powder.
Makes sense to me. If I am wrong, I think I may need an explanation to figure it out.
