Don't have any data for 2400 with that bullet.
I have 2 mod. 57's and a blhwk. I use that bullet in the blackhawk with H110, very accurate.
Hodgdon's 2009 annual manual has plenty of loads with that bullet, but naturally no 2400 data. I'm kinda leary of using heavy for caliber bullets in my Smith's. They are great guns but aren't up to Ruger's strength.
