The Winchester WB9JHP147D delivers precision-engineered 147-grain jacketed hollow point bullets specifically manufactured for handloaders seeking consistent terminal performance in 9mm applications. These bullets combine Winchester's proven manufacturing standards with optimal weight distribution for subsonic velocity loads.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard full metal jacket bullets, these jacketed hollow points feature a controlled expansion cavity engineered for reliable mushrooming upon impact. The 147-grain weight provides enhanced momentum retention while maintaining subsonic velocities when loaded appropriately. Winchester's quality control processes ensure uniform jacket thickness and core concentricity across the entire production run.
Key Features
- 147-grain weight optimized for subsonic 9mm loads
- Jacketed hollow point design with controlled expansion cavity
- Uniform copper jacket with lead core construction
- 500-bullet bulk packaging reduces per-round cost
- 0.355-inch diameter for standard 9mm specifications
- Consistent bullet weight tolerance within +/- 0.5 grains
- Compatible with progressive and single-stage reloading presses
These bullets perform effectively across multiple applications including personal defense loads, competition shooting, and training ammunition. The heavier 147-grain weight reduces felt recoil compared to lighter 115-grain alternatives while maintaining adequate penetration depth. When loaded to appropriate velocities, these bullets cycle reliably in both full-size and compact 9mm handguns.
