I don’t see why Titegroup would be any more dangerous than any other pistol powder. I’ve used it extensively for 9mm, .45ACP and .38 Short Colt loads. I never weigh individual charges with Titegroup. I throw 10 charges in the pan and if the total is within 0.2 gr of what I want, that’s fine. I’ve been using that method for many years and many tens of thousands of rounds. Titegroup meters very well through my ancient RCBS Uniflow. It’s really consistent.

As others have said, check the powder level in each case. I have a strong light mounted above my press so I can see into the cases.
