EDIT: I removed my original post after considering the fact that guys might take advice and load Titewad in a 10mm case. Just because I might be inclined to have a go under certain circumstances doesn't mean it is a practice that should be generally followed.

Pretty sure I would never use Titewad with 10mm or 40SW. 45ACP?  Sure. No published loads for .25ACP OR .32ACP but that would be tempting. Only other loads I have seen published are 9mm.

Those would be some tiny charges. You might have to count flecks (I don't think I can measure that small). 9mm light bullet loads are barely a little bit, as it is. Never tried it for .45ACP. I would never consider Titewad for high pressure cartridges, such as .40SW or 10mm.

Hodgdon shows the following for 45ACP using TiteWad  (These could be safe in the 10mm)

Hodgdon  Titewad  .451"  1.230" 155 GR. CAST LSWC  4.6 gr @ 1,015 fps  15,800 PSI   5.0 gr @  1,082 fps  18,800 PSI

Hodgdon  Titewad  .452"  1.140"  180 GR. LFP  3.7 gr @ 855 fps  14,800 PSI   4.3 gr @ 948 fps  19,200 PSI

Hodgdon  Titewad  .451"  1.155"  200 GR. SPR JHP  3.4 gr @ 680    fps 15,200 PSI   4.0 gr @ 834 fps 19,500 PSI

They show a few others but it does show just how little charges can generate some upper pressures in the 45ACP.

yeah... half a grain = a 4K psi jump.  That could get ugly fast.
