xd won't group with 147 JHP

Do any of you have an accurate load with 147 gr zero's or Precision's that shoot well in an XD that you want to share? My gun seems to prefer 125's. I worked up several loads with Tightgroup, N320, N330, and 231, and it seems my XD-9 doesn't like 147 grain bullets. I have a 2" group with 125's and N320 with a power factor of 133. I'm looking for the best load for production with my Canyon Creek tricked out XD-9. It shoots blazer 115 great too, but I'd like to get away from the snap and was hoping for the push of the 147. My EAA, and M&P shoots 147 very well in fact my 147s with 3.6 of TG shot 1" at 25 yds with my EAA Limited.

My XD9 is pretty accurate (group-wise) with all grain weights, but 147gr bullets impact 4" left at 25 yards.
115 and 124 are the same POI.

Obviously, there may be elevation changes between bullet weights, but I've never seen such windage differences.

My XDSC9 has a very different POI w/ 147 gr bullets as well.

Patient: It hurts when I shoot 147gr bullets
Doctor: Stop shooting 147gr bullets

I prefer the 124s/125s.

The 147s hit high and left for me at 50'.

I'm using 147gr Rainier TRN with 3.2-3.3 gr N320. ~2" high at 12 yrds but does it shoot nice!
