I found that hard to understand. TG is much faster than Universal & charge wts are less in all calibers. Me, I won't use it & do NOT recommend it for newb reloaders. It has a narrow load range, small volumn powder charge & steep pressure curve. It works fine for light target loads, but then there are 5-6 other powders that do the same thing w/ higher volumn to charge wt (WST, RedDot, etc). TG burns really hot too, some report leading issues w/ lead bullets. For 9mm & 38sp, W231 or WST would be my choice.
