As side notes to keep in mind: You may void your factory warranty if using re-manufactured or reloaded ammunition.
Per Owners Manual:
"WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?This Limited Warranty does not cover any damage or condition determined by Spring-field to be caused by: unauthorized repairs, disassembly, adjustments or modifications, carelessness, negligence, misuse, or unsafe handling, normal wear and tear, failure to properly or reasonably store, use, or maintain the product, hand-loaded, reloaded, re-manufactured, or defective ammunition."
Also, keep in mind if using higher rated ammunition than what's specified by manufacturer may put more stress on fire arm. But, going by above info posted earlier am not thinking that's a huge concern.
A good helpful article that may help you to understand some differences:
Is +P Ammunition Safe? What You Need To Know About Overpressure Ammunition
Is +P ammo safe to use? It isn't really that simple, as there's a bit more to using overpressure ammunition...
Other thing to consider if still unsure? Call Springfield Armory Customer Service. Great people to deal and work with!
Yep, that's what I was looking for. For example in the Ruger MAX-9 manual it is stated that +P will reduce the life of the gun and bold "do not use +P+".
I didn't see anything like that in Hellcat's manual, so I was curious.

The Hellcat is +P rated. If you only use +P you'll likely need to replace to consumable parts more often.

As mentioned, it’s +P rated, but…out of a super-short barrel like a Hellcat, it’s a case of diminishing returns. +P gets the most benefits from longer barrels.
I’d run a 147gr or even the 150gr Micro HST load if I was carrying a micro 9.
