Best 9mm factory round for IPSC minor

Hey guys... I recently bought a S&W M&P 9 which I intend to shoot in IPSC Production class. Went to Wally World and bought some Winchester white box 115gr JHP (rated at 1190 fps which gives a power factor of 137) and also a box of Remington UMC also 115gr JHP. Both cost about the same around $55 for 250 rounds. I'm sure these loads are above the IPSC 125 power factor but they seem a little hot to me since the muzzle was flipping aggressively.

What factory round is recommended for this purpose? 115, 124 or 147 grs?

Since this is for IPSC then price does matter (the cheaper the better) since I'll be shooting a lot in practice.

Any advice is welcome but I'm not reloading just yet.

  if you have too much flip, work on your grip, they really do not kick that much

  tsavo, I used to reload 9mm back in the day and was probably loading them down to a hair over the 125 power factor. I guess I got used to those mouse loads.
