I have the same gun. I recently loaded up 17grns of 2400 w/ the 300gn sporting handgun bullets. This is published MAX load according to Nosler's #5 manual at 1313 fps. Also, I'm using WLP primers, but am switching to Federals when the WLPs run out.

Depends on the firearm my friend. If you look at Hornady's Manual they quote 19.9 gr as max with their 300 XTP. My 44 has had no troubles with 20 grains of said powder. Primer pockets are tight after 10 firings or so and fired brass slips right out of the chambers.
I will admit though that lately I just use 23 grains of LILGUN with 240 gr Nosler HP's for everything.
:lol:
As far as using XTP data for other bullets start at 17 or so and work up.
