Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

These days finding 9mm bullets is a win, good for you... As for specific data for a Remington FMJ bullet, not necessary. Load data for any 124gr FMJ bullet works just fine with the Remington bullets. This is why the data is supplied with a starting and max load, so you can accommodate small differences in bullet design. Start low and work up and you will have no need to spend money uselessly.
As for powders, I use a lot of W231 with a 124gr FMJ bullet for the 9mm. Hodgdon has load data doe a 125gr Sierra FMJ bullet that I use all the time with the same bullets you are going to load. The starting load of 4.4gr W231 has cycled every pistol I shot them in and I usually load 4.6gr W231 under those same 124gr FMJ bullets. The max charge weight according to Hodgdon is 4.8gr W231 so the 4.6gr load isn't near the max. Good luck...
