NE1 Using 147 Grain FN Lead in 9mm?

Hello, I'm still pretty new to reloading so I like to jump in and ask questions to get me some help.

Right now, I'm looking at a 9mm Luger round in the 147 grain Flat Nose Lead #2 alloy. They're made right here in my home town, and I can get a great deal on them....

I am however having trouble finding loading charts on them... The company I'm buying from doesn't have load charts and everything these days is FMJ.

I have loads for Unique, which is a powder I have laying around, so does anyone else have any advice here with their similar loads?

Also, I have the Lyman guide for reloading is the #2 alloy load for 147 Grain bullet pretty reliable? It doesn't specify bullet type... I would figure same weight and material would lead to VERY similar results. But its better to ask and not assume here and be VERY SAFE!

Thanks for the help, zac.
