No, but I use 158gr Fiocchi SubSonic suppressed. Runs flawlessly,  and I'm sure 147gr will too.

I originally had my brace equipped 7.75 inch pistol with the carbine handguard sighted in using Speers 147gr FMJ. The firearm was taken as a backup to my HK MP5 for a PCC/Subgun class. I settled on that ammo because I primarily shot the MP5 suppressed and I only wanted to have to take one type of ammo. My Scorpion ran and shot beautifully with that ammo. Interesting note, with the 147gr ammo zero'd at 25yds it was back dead on at 100yds.

Have run speer 147s with no issues.  Also some 147gr XTP reloads and had no issues.

Wish you the best.

Sample size of one and all that, but this video shows how well the 147gr Federal HST performs out of a Scorpion.

I have run well over 1000 rounds of Browning BPT 147gr, though most of what I run is Winchester NATO 124gr

I run 147 +P HST in all my nines. I've always been a heavy bullet fan, like the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race.
