As I mentioned, look at Hodgdons 45 ACP 230 gr. It just says 230gr bullet either FMJ FP or Lead RN and they are ALL 1.200, regardless of powder.
Now, are all those bullets the same length??????????

The "EXACT" data is known for very FEW bullets, unless you want to go down the "Speer Manual" trail again!
Those are a Ranier and a Berry as you have well guessed and what does each site say to use for their bullets? Right, lead bullet data, the EXACT data for that EXACT bullet! (Don't go OCD on me here!)
This is where the loader has to be smarter than the published data! If you loaded one bullet and then switched, YOU aren't going to find that information in ANY manual! YOU have to know what you are doing and how x affects y. Otherwise, you are always going to be held captive by book loads that keep getting weaker and weaker.
Just my rant.................done now...................
