Buffalo Bore has a +P+ 147 that is going faster than many standard pressure 115s and 124s... https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=120As to the question of stretching the range to 100 yards...Buffalo Bore has charts attached to each of their loads that shows velocity, energy and drops. This load at almost 1200 fps is still over a 1000 fps at 100 yards...the MV of most 147s... But a 124 +P+ at 150 fps faster is only going about the same velocity at 100 yards because the lighter bullet has a lesser ballistic coefficient... https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=119Bob Way back when I would plink with a 9mm Hi-Point carbine, the various 147grain loads also grouped better at 100 yards than lighter bullets. Up to 50 yards there weren't a whole lot of difference, beyond that 115gr hollowpoints especially wouldn't group worth a darn. IIRC, the 147 gr was originally developed for suppressed weapons, especially for the precision work of taking out sentries and such. I often wondered if they settled on that longer bullet on partly on account of inherent accuracy. Birdwatcher

Hard for me to use anything but the 124 gr +P Speer Golddots. They are impressive on feral hogs at the Ranch.
I've also had great results with the Remington Golden Sabre +P loading on hogs, and one old cow I had to put down.
My new Kimber Micro 9 is loaded with the 124 gr +P Speer Golddots right now.
