I had the same case gauge issue with those bullets and had to use a Lee Crimp Die to fully size it down. Much head ache getting it straighten out. I just gave up on the coat bullets and use precision delta fmj.

9mm 147 SNS coated

N320: 3.2gr: 910fps
N320: 3.3gr This is my favorite Glock load, but for some reason I can't find my chrono data for this one.
N320: 3.4gr: 933fps
N320: 3.6gr: 962fps

Case gages only check finished case dimemsions. Depending on the diameter of your bullet the clearance hole for the bullet may not allow oversized bullets to gage properly. My 9mm gage will allow nicely centered .357 bullets in but .358 is a no go. This is something to keep in mind with loading coated.

I'm happy enough with these I ordered several thousand more of the .357-sized ones (thanks for the code Les!) but someone in SNS decided to ship me the .356-sized versions instead.

Yeah, I shot an email over to them yesterday evening and had a response/new shipment notification as of this morning.
Now just to figure out when/how to cart this 60+ pound beast of a package over to USPS for return shipping.
3.3 N320 averaged 926 fps out of my M&P 9L with Bayou Bullets. It is also my favorite 147 coated bullet load. My OAL is about 1.135.
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.
Is n320 worth the 2x cost of say Titegroup?

N320 is my favorite powder, and to me has a noticeably smoother recoil impulse without making me wait on the gun to cycle. It's much cleaner and cooler as well. But no, I don't think it's worth 2x Titegroup.

147 gr SNS bullet
4.0 gr WSF
1.13 OAL
This is the only handload I've ever chrono'ed; if I remember it averaged around 930 fps; the 147 gr HST factory loading was around 980. This was out of a storm lake M&P 40-9 conversion barrel
