I just got a box of 135gr RN from Extreme and can't find load data. It's becoming appearant that it's time to buy a chrony. Until then , if anyone wants to help I'd appreciate it. I shoot XD 9, Glock17, S&W SD9VE and JR CARBINE. With powder avail. I'm limited, for now, to GREEN DOT, Longshot, HS-6, 4756 and if anyone has worked with Alliant Pro Reach. Thanks in advance.
 
I don't have access to my notes etc since I'm at work, but I've only used the 135 gr in 38 super. I'm sure there's some data there somewhere--there's plenty for 147 gr in 9mm.
You might compare data for 124 gr and data for 147gr and choose a happy medium as your max. Start low and work up. Be sure to use a powder suitable for the heavier bullets. That HS6 sounds like a good place to start.....

Hodgdon has load data for 130 gr Berry's plated bullets under "BERB" - http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp

I would reference the load data for slightly heavier 135 gr X-Treme plated bullets as plated bullet weight can vary by 1-3 gr.
130 gr BERB RN Longshot .356" OAL 1.150" Start 5.2 gr (970 fps) 27,500 PSI - Max 5.8 gr (1115 fps) 33,900 PSI

130 gr BERB RN HS-6 .356" OAL 1.150" Start 5.9 gr (970 fps) 28,300 PSI - Max 6.5 gr (1097 fps) 31,800 PSI
 
I've been loading 135 grain cast bullets in 9mm for years, using a very generous charge of Bullseye. I'm not going to post that load data here. I could PM it to you if you're interested and promise to consider it an absolute max, suitable only (maybe) for the carbine.

I never found Green Dot to be suitable in 9mm for heavy bullets. It works great with light bullets. The other powders on your list look more appropriate.
 
For 9MM, I use the MBC 135 gr LRN (sized .357") using 3.9 gr of Unique, mixed brass, Tula standard small pistol primer, 1.125" AOL with Lee FCD. This load has the Best accuracy in 2 CZ-75s out of any bullet/powder combination I have loaded in the 9MM including 115 & 124 gr jacketed, plated and cast using HS-6, Power Pistol, Bullseye, reddot (Promo) W231, and 800X. Accurate, lite recoil, and no leading. Best of luck to you -
