LOL I know you do. I wasn't even thinking of 147gr until I tried your loads.
I don't know how to thank you enough - I came home & ordered the GP6-C from Scot. OTOH, my wife really doesn't like you.

I prefer 124's, the 147's I tried didn't group so well..... As an added bonus Cast & TMJ bullets in 124's all seem to like the same load (not so with the 147's) so all I have to do to change from one bullet to the next on my press is to change the bucket that holds the boolits!
I 'think' I can tell the differance with felt recoil.... I found double taps are way faster with 124's (due to practice I am sure) and I also find keeping the front sight in my LOS while the pistol is recoiling to be a bit easier as well.
But then again, I may just be the biggest Pu**y on this board!
YMMV
Cheers!

Well, I don't care about PF since this is for plinking only. My loads are definitely subsonic, LOL. I checked with my supplier, he only has 124gr at the moment so I'll continue with these until I need a new batch again. Thanks for your help, guys!
15 yards and under, it really does not matter in my opinion. At 25 yards or more, I find the 147's work much better; most of the highest scores at the 35 meter shoots at the NSCC this year were with 147's, mine winning both matches.
That being said, if you are looking for accuracy and not the cost, you may want to consider a 124 HP. I am planning on working with them in the spring to see what the accuracy is like; the wieght is further back and the are as long as a 147 (same contact surface), so they should have the chance of working well.
