Titegroup doesn't double charge, people double charge. If double charging is really an issue then it might be better to change loading practices rather than blame the components.

The issue with such a low volume powder is not technique but ability to easily determine a double charge in a case. Hodgdon managed to do just about everything to make it diff to determine a charge by visual means. Dark color, small volume, very easy to double in a large case & miss one & it only takes one.
The other issue is the extreme high heat level on ignition. Hot enough that a fast/long string on a hot day can melt the FO insert on a front sight. Yes I have seen it done. I am a very exp reloader & I wont use it as long as there are other options & there are quite a few of those.
