One thing to remember in your quest. The 147 grain 9mm load exists for one reason only. It was designed to get the most out of a suppressed MP-5 and still remain subsonic. It was never meant to be a true short barrel "handgun" round. It basically duplicates a 38 Special load. While some of the latest variants have been adapted to perform OK at pistol speeds it is still a compromise load. Performance is better with the 115 NATO spec load and the various 124 grain loads plus most 9mms are sighted for the 115 /124 and will be noticeably higher in poi with the slow heavy 147.
