It really doesn’t matter if the data is for hollow point, flat point or round nose. What matters is that bullet weight matches and you don’t use jacketed loads under lead and vice versa.

I hate to say this but that isn't really correct. What matters, assuming the same weight and construction is how deeply the bullet sits in the case after seating to the correct over all length. This is because it changes the usable volume of the case. Regardless, if you use data for the same weight bullet of the same general shape and follow Handloading Rule #1 (start low and work up), you won't have any problem. You run into issues when you try to take shortcuts like trying to copy somebody else's load.
