I've good results accuracy wise with several different Winchester 147 grain FMJ loads including the subsonic 9mmSU2 and the 3 gun X9TG and Training 9mmT. They are worth a look. Remington UMC 147 FMJ has also done well for me, but more of my guns like the Winchester better than the Remington. Again, you have to test them to see what works best and where the POA/POI is.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
I load 147 over 3.5 TG and find my Glock 43 loves it just like it does the HSTs
It's also very well priced at SGammo.Originally Posted by Flintsky
Thank you. Has anyone used Remington UMC 147gr (23732) or Browning BPT 147gr (B191800091) for comparison? My local shop only has these two at the moment, so I'm wondering if they feel similar.
I haven’t shot the Remington stuff back to back with the HST, but the Remington has a published velocity only 10 fps less than HST so it should be close in recoil. Never shot the Browning ammo.

I've always used AE147 as it's identical to HST147 as far as I can tell.
Lately I've been using AE124 since I got a bunch of cases for ridiculous cheap.
I think it's working out. The 124 is noticeable more snappy than the 147. Now when I shoot 147s through my 43 it feels softer than normal and I shoot it really well.
The velocity and energy of 147gr HST and AE is 1,000 and 326. The LM is 985 and 317 and all 3 have very similar recoil.
