This seems odd to me. I have never tested any of this, but to me, Lawman always feels "hotter" in any given loading than does AE. Perhaps it has something to do with burn rate and barrel length? Mostly I shoot 3-3.9" 9mm guns with an occasional 4.5"
Or maybe it is just a subjective thing with me.
I've been using a lot of Blazer Brass 147gr. It's reasonably accurate from my Gen 5 19s (sub-3" at least, probably better if I could shoot), is close to POI with HSTs, and I get it for about .18/round delivered. Lately that's been my stockpiling load as I burn up the various 115gr fodder I came into.
No, it’s the same for me. Sure, the velocities might be the same but I remember when I went through 3 cases of AE 147gr and was vetting a pistol with 147gr HST I noticed the HST was much hotter than the ball ammo I was practicing with. Wasn’t the end of the world but I do feel the 147gr Lawman to be hotter than AE.
For many cases it’s been S&B 115.
But lately I tried out a few hundred rounds of Winchester M17 115 flat point fmj sold in 150 round boxes and marketed as the new milspec I guess.
It has appeared competitive with S&B for precision but it feels a good bit hotter. More so than Lawman perhaps.

@JHC - I chronographed that stuff and it came in around 1230 fps IIRC.
Yeah baby! I almost posted it felt +P. @GJM there's a flat point bear skull buster ah gaaaroonteee.
