I am just getting into reloading and trying to get load data for my first load/test. I shoot a 9 mm Shield and 9mm High Point carbine (target and plinking). I have purchased 9 mm Berry's 115 Gr round nose bullets, HS-6 powder and CCI 500 primers. Barry' says to use published load data for lead/cast bullets. So Hodgdens web site shows: 115 Gr LRN, HS-6, 6.4 Gr (1117 fps) to 6.9 Gr (1170 fps), with COL of 1.100". To me this seems like a small spread from starting to max., but I could be wrong. I could not find any other source of load data for this combination.

I've read that you should develop your test in 2% of max load, work up from starting load until seeing high pressure signs, then back off 15%.

Are there any other load data sources for this load? And am I on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
