First load a bullet to 1.169 OAL and see if it will chamber and eject. Almost every bullet is different because even if it is the same weight the bullet might be designed different so every new bullet the OAL should be checked in your rifle's chamber. The powder charge shouldn't chane if you load a 115gr fmj hornady, nosler or RMR but the OAL might be different in your gun.
I check the OAL about every 5-10 loaded rounds as your dies might back out or the bullet seater might loosen up.
Benchloaders want the bullet to almost touch the lands in the belief that gives the best accuracy.

I am looking at my modern reloading book by lee and it has 115 gr copper plated oal at low end 1.13 high end 1.142 with most loads at 1.140. I love this book, best 20 bucks I have spent in awhile.

Sounds great and the 9mm hasn't got much kick even out of a pistol.
