Original 9mm lead truncated bullet
 
Is there anywhere I can find these bullets? I don't cast bullets anymore, so would have to be 'store bought'.

This will get you started.
If you want to experiment with HP or flat points do some dummys first so you can be sure of proper feeding.

Found what I'm looking for at RMR, Rocky mountain Reloading. 124 grain 9mm truncated cone lead bullet. Cost $18 per 100 plus shipping. I think these are worth a try.

The original "bullets" TC 124gr were not lead, but jacketed.

You know lead bullets are problematic with regard to feeding, but your bullets/ luger may be compatible. Let us know when you get to try them out.

I found some 124gr TC "plastic" coated lead bullets, they work ok; right now I've forgotten the "brand"- but you can probably find them with a web search for coated 9mm bullets. They came in various colors of coating- which would be good if you want to do different loads for different pistols. JMHO.
