Exactly, and avoiding having to use the hammer and punch was the reason behind the effort.
I definitely get that. I generally zero for the carry load--if it ain't right to start with--and then buy or build a bulk load that hits real close to that. I am kinda spoiled. I have a 200 yard range on the place so when I zero, I take a 6" padded drill press vise and enough blacksmith tools to move the Rock of Gibraltar. Again, I am after a fine zero at 50 yards. I carry the same gun for about everything and it might be asked to thump a groundhog or coyote between trips to town.
Good deal trying a bunch of loads. I'd go with the 147 if I was you.
