9mm Buffalo Bore 147gr +p vs G9 124gr +p woodsmen for Predator defense?

FYI...P365 does not like hot/heavy hardcast loads in my experience. I have 3 p365 pistols and none are fans of +p heavy/hardcast loads from both buffalo bore and Underwood. I got a response from Underwood that SIG specifically does not recommend heavy +p rounds in the p365 chassis despite the only info I can find from them stating the p365 will handle factory +p loads. Underwood was the worst of the two but I had cycling issues from both.
Mine will all shoot any other +p jacketed or hollow point rd I've tried just fine, but the heavy (over 127gr) lead stuff has had feeding issues in all 3 of mine so I avoid it...practice extensively with what you plan to carry, POI shift was notable for me on the hot/heavy loads that did cycle.
They all cycle +p 124gr copper jacket flat nose rds perfectly fine. Not sure what it is about hot heavy rds in the p365, but im not the only one to have issues there.
I have shot the Underwood 147 cast in my 365 and it fed and shot them the best of any ammo I have tried in it. I am using their coated version though.
 
You would think those heavy loads would be slamming that little pistol around pretty good, to say nothing about that stock spring.

Was using the same. Two different batches, did the same thing.
Was leaving tiny rings of the case in the chamber, next round wouldn't feed. I figured it was the gun. Tried in my two others, an xl and another standard 365, same results.
I was told directly by Underwood they do not recommend that ammo in the P365, nor does sig recommend the use of heavy hardcast +p loads in the 365platform...I got no such verification from Sig.
The copper jacket flat nose 124gr +p from Underwood works flawlessly, so Ive just stuck with those.
I had similar failure to feed issues with the Buffalo bore but without the tiny ring of case material left in the bore. Maybe im just lucky and got 4 bad boxes/batches of ammo🤷‍♂️...and yes, I clean my guns properly and regularly.
