Do not go over MAX.
 
I've used the max load of Titegroup OKFC05 listed above for a few years now. If you notice, this is still way below saami standard and very economical. Just be mindful of your overall length and be sure to have a good crimp to avoid bullet setback as pressures with this powder could rise to an unsafe level in a hurry if that bullet is too far into the case! Anyway, just wanted let ya know that it has worked great for me. Be safe-have fun.
 
I assume your inquiry concerns 9mm. My normal match load, 3.2 Titegroup, gives me 130-135 PF in several 5" guns. I use 3.0 with 147 plated bullets at an indoor range for casual plinking.
