Any diff you can think of? I was just gonna order TC's b/c I've been shooting RN's. Any palpable effect on accuracy you guys can imagine? I'm looking at Precision Delta 147's. I want 147's b/c I want them for longer range (carbine) & subsonic from the muzzle for accuracy.

Oh yeah, any opinions on Unique vs. PowerPistol for accuracy with mild loads...with 147's???
 
The only difference I have ever noticed between the two is in the feed cycle. The RN's seem to feed easier than the TC's in my 9mm guns. I have used both but only noticed a feed problem a couple of times. You might want to order, or go out and buy just a few before ordering a bunch.
 
Since getting a .357 sig that requires truncated cone bullets I've been loading them for my 9mm also. They have worked in my Ruger P89 and SR9C.

Only difference for reloading is having to set the overall cartridge length shorter than for round nose. For round nose my minimun length was 1.20" and my TC is 1.09". Those numbers are for 115 gr plated by the way! I think I got everything I meant to say in here.
