I found a Load in my Modern Reloading book by Richard Lee for a Copper Coated Bullet, using CFE Pistol powder which I have been using with very good results
you may want to explore other powders. I like a faster powder for coated bullets in 9mm, such as Sport Pistol, or even faster like IMR Target, N320 or Titegroup
While slower burning than Unique/Universal powders are better suited for higher velocity loads, they tend to produce optimal accuracy at high to near max load data.
PC (powder coat) ... Hi-Tek ... Some experimenting has given me higher velocities, in the jacketed bullet range, but I have no real need so I just stick with my plain lead bullet loads
If you are loading lighter target loads, W231/HP-38/Sport Pistol and faster burning powders are better suited as slower burning powders may not sufficiently deform/bump the bullet base to seal with the barrel whereas faster burning powders can better deform/bump the bullet base, especially at lower target load powder charges using lead load data.
In another thread, we discussed our favorite 9mm powders and here are mine with characteristics and reasons why for each -

I separate pistol powders by "relative" burn rates into following groups and as you can see, CFE Pistol is in the slower burning groups and will benefit from being loaded higher for accuracy.
Faster burning pistol powders:
E3 - Competition - Nitro 100 - N310 - Norma R1
Red Dot/Promo - IMR Red - Clays - 700X - Bullseye - Vectan Ba 10 - IMR Target - TiteGroup - Vectan AS - Am. Select - Solo 1000 - WST - International - Trail Boss - N320 - Vectan Ba 9.5 - No. 2 - Clean Shot/Lovex D032.03
Sport Pisto - W231/HP-38 - Zip - Green Dot - IMR Green - W244
Slower burning pistol powders:
Unique - Universal - IMR Unequal - Vectan Ba 9 - BE-86 - Power Pistol - N330 - Vectan A1 - Herco - Vectan A0 - WSF - N340 - 800X
No. 5 - Auto Pistol/Lovex D036-03 - True Blue - HS6 - AutoComp - Ultimate Pistol/Lovex D036-07 - CFE Pistol - Silhouette - 3N37
N350 - 3N38 - IMR Blue - W572 - Blue Dot - No. 7 - Major Pistol/Lovex D037-01 - Vectan Ba 7.5 - Pro Reach - Long Shot - 2400
