Use data for any similar length and weight bullet. Jacketed info for Jacketed Bullets, and cast info for cast swaged and coated.

Hodgdon has a web sight, but you need a few Printed Reloading Manuals too.

By The Way, Welcome to the best gun forum around!

If you choose to not use Ivan's advise, the penta hp is just a hollow point with a different shape cavity. You can use any cast HP bullet of the same weight and shape. (jes my opinion; I only have a Lyman 49th at my desk and I would use starting loads for the 120 gr. TC bullet) and do a load work up.. "Load Data" gave me 19 hits with some multi-load hits. Hodgdon load data web site has loads for 115 gr. LRN which will also work starting with min loads and doing a load work up. I believe if you look through some manualsyou can find 115 gr cast HP bullet loads..

My question is...........
where did you find the bullets for loading use?

I can only find loaded ammo, with that bullet.
