Default Load data for 9mm:115 FMJ

Well I just got all the components for reloading 9mm. Picked up Berry's 115gr Plated RN, some primers, and am planning on loading with Unique. Much to my suprise & disappointment, my Lyman 49th Edition does NOT have load data for 115gr FMJ, just 115gr hollowpoint. I am already aware of not loading more than mid-range loads for Berry's plated, but am not sure if I can use the 115gr hollowpoint data to make up some start up loads for the 115gr. plated RN. If anyone else is loading these same boolits with Unique, would love to get a baseline load to get started at least. Thanks in advance!

Checked Alliant's page for data on 9mm Luger, and they are listing 115gr. GDHP's. Very concerned with the data they list as it says 6.3gr of Unique, and I am not loading that for 45acp, not quite sure that would even fit in the case.
