I have found the even 200 grain lead semi wadcutters do substantially better at killing stuff than ball ammo.
I've found the same thing. Even at a measly 650 fps (not that I'm recommending that) they're still more effective than ball.
There are several bullet styles besides hollow points I'll rely on in pistols, but ball isn't one of them. I guess I don't understand why anyone would intentionally choose the worst performance they could get, other than just being really cheap.
