Starting loads are supposed to be low.... and the look of them is not what makes them "low".
There are powders that you could not cram enough of into a 9mm case to cause an over-pressure problem if you used a wooden dowel and hammer to pack it in and there are powders that may be well over maximum safe pressure and the case will be half full.
Start at your manuals STARTING load and work up from there. Load a mag full at STARTING load, and increase by .1, .2, or .3gr increments, depending on the difference between START and MAXIMUM.
No one can tell you what is safe in your gun. There are too many variables.
Start low and work up.
