Yeah, I'm not a fan of down-loaded 2400.Yes, and I have tested a lot of pistol powders in .38 Spl cases, both powder back against the primer, powder forward against the bullet, and powder level. 2400 actually likes level.
Did it once long long time ago, and they were erratic. In the bag of brass at the end, like a tablespoon full of unburnt kernels in the bag. Lots of annoying hot-pin pricks to the face when firing.
IIRC these were 357 Mag with 125gr bullets and about 10 grains of 2400.
I strongly advise against it
I really like Alliants advice on it, which is the standard starting load of 10% less than max, and I was well below that.
