I am loading hard cast bullets for the first time and I was wondering if I can use the same data I use for soft lead. Is all lead equal? Or will different pressures result?

If you need more info I am loading .45 Auto, 230 grain round nose with 4.7 grains of Red Dot. The information comes from the Spear Manuel and they use their 230 grain LRN bullets.
