Regardng the "rant" above:

Slightly compressing flake powders is not likely to turn a low-pressure load into a high-pressure load. It may even inhibit ignition a little and make the pressure LOWER than we would calcualte for the increased charge weight.

In the situation of SR-4756 in the 9mm case with 115 grain bullets, the power is a little slow with somewhat low energy content (it is single-based, with no nitroglycerin) to get the highest performance. But, that also makes it unlikely to get over-pressure.
