You won't find a listing for the Winchester bullet because the bullet manufacturers only use their own bullets in their reloading manuals. The 115 grain FMJ bullets from the major manufacturers are sufficiently close in dimension that you can interchange their data - just begin at the starting load and work your way up as needed.

I've fired 1000's of the Winchester hollow base and the Remington flat base 115 grain 9 mm bullets over 6.6 grains of Power Pistol at 1.135 COL with excellent results in several 9 mm handguns.
Thank you for the info and recipe,
