I see a few things to consider.
First, the 115 grain bullet is going to take up more of the case volume than a lighter bullet, leaving less room for powder. Smaller space for powder = higher pressure. So, I would start working up loads from quite a low starting point, as and soon as I got reliable functioning, I would stop.
The recoil impulse from a heavier than normal bullet may be a little harder on the gun, too- more violent slide cycling, etc.
Keeping in mind those 2 factors, I don't see why you can't use the 115 grain data.
