MG 147 CMJ - Purpose?

[IVC]

What's a good use for Montana Gold 147 complete jacketed bullets? These have covered base so they are suitable for any comped gun. 

 

A quick background. I ended up with a stash of smorgasboard weights and types of bullets during pandemic and post-pandemic shortage, so I want to use up what I have. Most other bullets have obvious purpose (jacketed for comps, coated for standard barrels, plated same as coated, etc.). But these 147s are premium for basic fodder and heavy for PCC/Open. What would they be good for that Blue Bullets 147 are not? Open minor for local matches? Any other ideas?

No reason you can't use them for Open.  But they're not a very good choice for that application.  I'd either use them for Limited (minor)/CO/LO or sell/trade them for something else.

Good for suppressor use or production. Anyplace you want 9mm without having to worry about running a comp

This is what I was gonna. Great for suppressed 9. 
 

I run 147 plated but I’d prefer those.

I don’t know if it was a fluke but those gave me better accuracy over a wider range of velocities in my pistol.

They are very accurate as a minor load. Even more fun as a suppressed load.

Oooh..., naughty! Lol. At least for us in CA where if it's fun we can't have it. You know, it's for our own good... /sarcasm

 

But it seems that the 147 CMJ-s will do well for generic minor/sub-minor load where I can even run them in the 9mm Open gun for steel and local matches. It won't work the comp, but it's minor in a heavy gun, so no big deal either way. I'll try a few things and see how it goes.
