There are several recent threads on this site that I myself have responded to in the last week that concern this very topic. I have no idea why the search engine doesn't turn those up.
In any case, that boolit is quite capable in the 9mm. Many on this site use it and remark on it's accuracy in the 9mm.
I use it myself but prefer the Lee 120 tc. Many say they need to seat it rather short in order for it to pass the plunk test in their pistol. I don't have that trouble. but my pistol has a generous throat.
Depending on the requirements of you particular barrel, you may not need to size them any smaller than the size you use for the 38. I size them to .358 for my pistols as that gives me better accuracy and stops leading.

tazman pretty much covered it.

When working up loads with it, begin at the start load or a little less. This is because that boolit is a bit longer than the 125gr. RN. and seats
Deeper. I run it with 4.1 gr. Unique.
