I'm about out of 124 gr Extreme RN and was thinking of trying some coated Cone Nose. Any input on CN vs RN for range plinking? Will be shooting them out of my G19 and 3913.

I've been curious about those, too.

The current issue of Handloader magazine, #301, has an article on
handloading the 9mm and includes CN bullets along with several other types. Also there is another article on the history and military use of
the CN bullet design. Very interesting reading.

I find a truncated cone a bit more accurate than a RN in most calibers. They will load to a shorter oal than a RN by quite a bit. You will need to rework your loads unless they are below midrange. The shorter oal may cause you feeding issues, depends on the gun.

I cast these 135gr. RNFP from a Mihec (359-135) mold and size to .358". They have functioned well in all of my 9mm's with OAL of 1.100".
I use load data from the Lyman 47th Edition for their 356634 cast bullet design--which is a similar style bullet listed as 130gr. with #2 alloy.

I have switched over to the cone nose as the MBC small ball round nose had to be seated so short in my CZ Custom, It has more of a FMJ profile and seats better,
Only one problem you "consume mass quantities!"

I have looked at truncated and cone shaped bullets and have come up with................
The truncated has a flat nose....
while the cone has a slightly rounded nose.......
making it maybe feed a little better?
I have two pictures that I have saved from the net, to add to my scrapbook.
Later.

Reminds me of when SNL was actually funny. Hard to watch today.
Don't know why but that just had me cracking up.I have switched over to the cone nose as the MBC small ball round nose had to be seated so short in my CZ Custom, It has more of a FMJ profile and seats better,

Yep the old original SNL with not Ready For Prime Time Players was great Still remember most of the skits and I sure was not in the best condition at that time

Except that is a rn flat point, but i suppose it depends on what one calks a cone shape? I like the bullet though, sim mold from NOE.I cast these 135gr. RNFP from a Mihec (359-135) mold and size to .358". They have functioned well in all of my 9mm's with OAL of 1.100".

The original 9mm load is what the Lyman 356402 is based on. It feeds well in the 5 9mm's I have tried it in. Any good loading manual should have data for it.

This is an image of that bullet. As you see it has a steep cone and a slight flat. I find the rn slightly more accurate but you have to put it on paper with a good gun and be able to shoot well enough to tell the difference. If sorting 9mm cases isn't for you it won't matter.
