Be careful with the Clays. It is a very fast powder. As long as you stay with a light load you should be OK. Problem comes when some have tried to make major with Clays in the .40 or a hot load in 9mm. Loading Clays to a hot 9mm load would not be wise. A little bullet set back and you could have a problem.
The 147 gr bullets are the sofest shooting. Heck, I am getting ready to load some 160 gr bullets for IDPA. Not sure my barrel has a fast enough twist though.

That can't be a miss. Looks like a perfect double to me.
