Tell me how you use Alliant 2400

[CraigOK]

What all do you guys use it for?
What caliber, bullet weight, and velocity?

[MrHarmless]

8mm, 7.5 French, 303 Brit. Sometimes .357, but I'm short on it right now.

8mm gets about 20 grains under the Lee 329-220 sized to .323. Outstanding accuracy.

The 7.5 is about 16 grains under the Lee 312-160 sized to .309. Great accuracy but that bullet is super annoying. Very fat nose, like to jam in the lands.

The 303 gets something like 18 grains. Lee 160 and 185. The 160 was more accurate, but after getting some leading I realized they're bother undersized. Need to hone out the 311 sizer to 312 ish.

2400 is one of my favorites. Very versatile powder and meters extremely well.

A2400 is good in .308 and .30-40 with cast and of course .357 and .44 mag.

I had a problem with my Python and found that the unburned 2400 had packed up the ( thing that indexes the cylinder). Cleaned it out after several thousand rounds.

I use it in 44 special with the Lee gc 240 swc 14.6 grains 1070 FPS , and in a 45/8 Ruger Bisley and with a Lyman 429421 with 14.8 for about 1050 FPS .

Elmer's old .44 Mag. loads and .410 shotgun.

New 2400 develops the same velocity with 20 gr behind a 240 gr bullet that used to take 22 gr of powder. It's my standard load in my Ruger SBH revolvers and my Marlin 1894. Nothing else has been as accurate. In the SBH's 16 gr 2400 and a 300 (305?) gr Lee flat point boolit is also excellent, but recoil is a bit more.
Using old reloading data with the new cleaner burning 2400 is a bad idea. During my volunteer range safety officer "job" I met a man who was at Alliant when the development of cleaner 2400 was done. It ended up a bit quicker burning, making higher peak pressures.

[JM7.7x58]

I use it in 30-30(170gr/15gr), 30-06(150gr-210gr/16gr), 7.7x58mm(155gr-217gr/16gr), .357 Mag(150gr/13gr).

I’ve seen a load for it in 32 acp, but have not used it there, yet.

It’s good stuff.

[Kraschenbirn]

.357s for my TC Contender and Rossi '92; 7.65 Arg, 7.62x54, and .22 Hornet (now that I can't find IMR4227 anywhere).

I use/can use 2400 for these calibers: 45/70, 8mm, 32 win spcl, 7.65x53, 303 brit, 30-06, 30-30, 300 bo, 44 mag, 357 mag,

Not always the most accurate but it works.!

[Lloyd Smale]

old load i got from paco kelly is a 405 cast with 22 grains of 2400. 24 in a 458 mag. Worked good in my guns.

[DougGuy]

I use 2400 where I'd like to download H110. I use it mostly in 44mag 310gr hunting loads where I am after a targeted velocity 1200fps, which I think puts that boolit just slightly slower than the starting charges of H110.

If I want to get into the 75% to 90% powerband of a certain cartridge, 2400 does that very well. 90% and above = H110.

[jdfoxinc]

3" 410 buckshot loads.

[stubshaft]

First and foremost I use it in the cartridge it was designed for, the 22 Hornet (2400 fps.), 44 Special and mag, 30/30, 375 H&H.

[Low Budget Shooter]

16 to 20 grains under cast bullet in 30.06
12.5 grains under 158gr - 170gr bullet in 357 Magnum
Works great!

Here’s a good read about 2400 ... http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...shed-load-data

Craig, buy a Lyman Reloading Manual and then you’ll be able to flip pages for the data you want by caliber and bullet weight and velocity

[marlin39a]

Cast rifle loads. Fast 357 loads. 22 hornet.

I have the lyman cast bullets manual in the Amazon cart, just haven't bought it in case the wife asks for ideas for my birthday

[45DUDE]

A slow bench rest target load in 38 special with a 195 grain Lyman lead boolit for one. Lots of uses. 2400 goes down pretty fast in a hopper.

[ShooterAZ]

I use it a lot in the 30-30W, 308W, and 30-06. Also use it quite a bit in 357 Mag and 44 Mag. I'm running pretty low on 2400 at the moment, with little hope for replacement. Thankfully I'm well stocked on IMR4227, which I use quite a bit of for cast boolits.
