4.7 to 10 grs.
from thier 05 data.
iv'e shot 7grs quite a bit and it's pretty accurate.

I've tried Titegroup in various calibers, but didn't care for the results. Very spikey on pressures, and the bigger the case the worse it was in that regard. Didn't find it to be any more accurate either. The position insensitive aspect didn't prove to be any big factor at all, as my standard light load of fast powder in 44 Mag (7.5grs w231) fills about 1/3 of the powder cavity anyway, and never has ignition problems.

I've tried TG with the 44 mag and 6 grains with my 250 grain SWC Keith bullet bullet shoots Half inch groups at 15 -20 yards, I had the target posted a while ago.
very mild load and I never had a problem with it in regards to accuracy. Like shooting 38 specials. Yes it's a small charge in a 44 case so I check each case with my little Mag light. I wouldn't use it for the upper end loads but for a plinker I found is very good. It's sure not a hot rod round.

Like Graywolf, I have also used TG in the 44 and found it to be a pleasant experience with boolits from 200 to 250 grains. It is exactly what he describes, a good accurate plinker.

With a 240Gr SWC and 5.5Gr of TiteGroup works GREAT.

As said it is a good low to mid range powder but do not push it as it will build pressure FAST.

I like the powder. But you have to be extra careful not to double charge a case. Please pay attention to this aspect.
