UPDATE: After a second trip to Springfield Armory for repair, (on their dime) the second "barrel refit" appears to have corrected the problem. Went to the range and shot 113 rounds of mixed 147 gr. fp, 115 gr. fmj and 115 gr. RNL. All worked perfectly with the exception that twice the slide failed to lock back on the 147 gr. FP. The OAL of the 147 Gr. cartridges are shorter than the other ammo I shot whether that had anything to do with it I don't know.
