I ladle cast two 5 cavity no groove NOE 135 grain and HTC coat them, production is a little over 1200 an hour. I'm not sure if Al makes a 147 five cavity but with two or even better three you can make lots of bullets in a short period of time.

I have a 147gr slick sided TC mold from Accurate Molds, it shoots very well and feeds great in everything I've tried it in.
As others have said, some of the well know mould makers such as MP, NOE and Accurate have some really good heavy weight 9mm molds to choose from. I personally have been casting a bunch of NOE 358-147 slick sided which I then powder coat and size to 356. Shoots great in all my 9mm pistols and my MP5. One issue I did have was I was not expanding my cases so the bullet was getting squeezed down by the case. The powder expander that came with my Mr. Bullet feeder fixed that issue. A Lyman "M" die should fix that as well.
