Nothing. That why I asked. I have found different powders and different grain bullets but nothing specific for 230 led and 2400 powder. Hoping someone has some info that I don't. I did mix up a few using the data for 240 Xtp (20.4 grain). That resulted in about a 2" grouping at 40ish steps off hand standing. Not too bad recoil. Didn't crony it tho.
You might try looking around your local gun shop for old Hercules loading manuals. The Alliant 2400 I have tried has chronoed extremely close to some old Hercules 2400. Just start at the minimum charge weight and find work works best for your revolver.

I also started a thread like this one in the 'reloading' forum. Some good conversation there. I'd appreciate it if you guys checked it out and gave some input there. Thanks
I have a Lyman 45th Edition which probably dates back to the 70's. It lists NO loads for the 45 Colt and 2400. However it does show a load for the 44 mag., 250 cast lead, and 2400 from 18 grs (1088fps) to 22 grs (1295) from a S&W model 29. Back then, I don't think that there was wdiespread use of heavy 45 Colt loads. Use this information at your discretion. Peter.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;
Originally posted by Norman Conquest: MSHitman,I still load with a decent sock of Hercules 2400 with no ill effects. What is the difference if any to the Alliant mfg.?
I have chronographed loads with both powders and found negligible differences.

And with discretion.
