IIRC, Hoppes No. 9 was never billed as a copper solvent, only as a powder solvent. I have found that both CLP and also Kroil will also remove powder residue, but have more lubricating properties than Hoppes, so I have tilted toward using those for routine cleaning. If I have to deal with copper fouling or leading, other measures need to be taken.
