It makes sense to me that it would be safe in others, for instance, a .38 Special target load.
Not to me. There is no safe load of titeWAD in a large low-pressure caliber like .38 special or .44 special. It is marginal even in the small high-pressure 9mm. (Reaches max pressure at only 942 fps, which is slow for 9mm)

If you want a fast pistol powder, get Titegroup, NOT titewad. Data are on the Hodgdon online loading site. I use a lot of Titegroup in 9mm and .40. For .38, I use HP38.

If I were trying to get by just with one relatively fast pistol powder, I would choose HP38, which is optimum in .38 special, and works in 9mm, .40, and .45.
