Can anyone point me in the right direction for loading 9mm copper plated round nose extreme bullet with hodgon cfe pistol powder? can the data for the LRN be used?
Do you have any reloading manuals? I would first buy a couple and compare data with different bullet manufactures. Check Hodgon website also for data
for this load I'm sure it is on there site. I use Lead data for plated bullets to start with. MINIMUM Loads first and work up.

Yes, plated bullets should be treated as lead for loading purposes. At least that the way it was explained to me.
You can generally push plated a little faster, but until you figure out how thick the plating is, you're best to treat them as bare lead.
Not all plated bullets are created equal.
As Sparky said, start low (at or close to minimum) and work up from there, watching for problems along the way.
