I've shot both round nose and flat point 124gr plated bullets (Xtreme) in my 9mms. The flat points do punch a nicer hole in paper but I did have a few feeding issues with my pistols. I assumed they would be more accurate than round noses but didn't see any difference. I did need to seat the flat points deeper than the round noses so that the bullet base was deeper inside the case, reducing case capacity. I needed to reduce powder charges compared to the round noses to stay safe. With the round noses published data for 124gr or 125gr FMJs can be used safely. The round noses feed more reliably and are just as accurate so that is all I load now.
