I can confirm Herters is S&B but the JHP is a bit hotter I will be publishing a video soon. The powder used across both is LOVEX D036.07 all to be published soon but Intercooler beat me to it :)

The will likely be about the same velocity, here is why...   The FMJ is a more compact bullet as compared to the JHP which is slightly longer due to its Hollow point design to be the same weight.
That being said the FMJ loading will have slightly more powder because the bullet is shorter over all leaving a little more space inside the casing.  To make a specific velocity range with that 180 grain FMJ bullet and then you consider that the 180 grain JHP is a longer bullet, if using the same charge weight of powder, the pressures would be higher an so to would be velocities.

Also the powder is a LOVEX type...There are several D036 blends...  D036.01  /  D036.03  /  D036.07  Shooters World also sells LOVEX Powders under rebranded names...
