Question on reloading

I'm new to reloading, and I am having difficulty finding load data for a specific bullet. I have Remington FMJ 115 gr. round nose bullets (RB9MM3). In my Lyman 48th ed. manual, it doesn't list this bullet specifically, but it does have a 115 gr FMJ hollow point. Can I use load data from another style/brand of bullet if it's the same weight? I would assume that the OAL would be different between a hollow point and a round nose correct? BTW, I'm using Win231 powder.

  what is the difference between loading copper instead of lead on shotgun shells? Why is copper cheaper per 25 lbs. I am new to reloading and just curious.

  Hello jb6884...
  
  In this case, the answer is yes... reload data for any 9mm jacketed 115 grain bullet will be the same.

  Is the OAL going to be different for the different style of bullet? Should I use the max OAL given for 9mm in general, or use one for the hollow point, or the other 100gr round nose?

  You may want to post this in the old "paintball forum" they have been talking reloading instead of paintball.
