The extra weight of the bullet needs more oomph and charges then increase in volume and tend to give better consistency and then accuracy.

Correct yes. The whole exercise of going subsonic is a field of its own. The rules that apply are such that it needs careful study and following the recipes that have been found to be safe through practical experimentation.
