When a reloading book shows a COAL for a particular bullet, any maximum load should never be shorter than listed.

Of course any smart reloader will start at the lower charges, perform a "plunk" test to make sure the bullet is not hitting the lands, and work up a load for accuracy and\or function in your particular firearm. Maximum loads should never be the goal of the reloader.

Cases are often shorter than SAAMI spec's. This is not generally an issue, as long as you get solid firing pin strikes. Pistol brass rarely stretches and often shrinks. SAAMI 9mm shows .754 -.10 (.744) being the standard minimum. A case too short will generally be held by the extractor and rarely causes issues.
Your brass is of normal length and should function fine.
