Alliants data that you list is MAXIMUM as is all loads where only one charge weight is listed. The load should be reduced by 10% for a start load.

There is no practical difference between FMJ and JHP bullet load data so use of your Lymans 115 gr JHP data is fine if you are using jacketed bullets. With plated bullets by Rainier or Berrys you should not use a full jacketed bullet load, instead keep them at most to the start load level as maximum.

Loads I've chrono'd with 115 jacketed bullets using Unique shot from different guns at different times were:

5.2gr Unique @ 1,151 fps average Glock 19
5.7gr Unique @ 1,192 fps average Browning HP
6.0gr Unique @ 1,257 fps average Walther P1
