Yes, and 4.4gr Titegroup appears in charts for 9mm, .40 S&W, .38Spl, and .45 ACP, just among the cartridges I routinely load, and several others I don't.

Posts like the OP's concern me, especially requests for general rules of thumb for similar powders. The science of internal ballistics is not only more complicated than most understand, it is more complicated than most CAN understand, unless educated in the world of second and third-order differential calculus.
