Lyman load manual info please

Would someone please look up the load data from Lyman for the 44mag devistator using 2400 and give me the max and min?
Thanks

I pressure tested 2400 under my Devestator which weighs 270 gr fully dressed. 19.5 gr Alliant 2400 was right at the top end of the SAAMI MAP (35,000 psi) without any shot of the 10 shot string going over that MAP. I don't have Lyman's manual with me. The average MAP of 20.5 gr was right at the SAMMI MAP with half the psi's being above. If your Devestator weighs close to mine then I would consider 20 gr as a max load with 2400. I use H110 as my regular powder for that bullet.
