I agree with the majority - I've tried "modern" 2400 loadings under 158s in the .38 Special, and gotten wide spreads and unburnt powder all over everything.
I
have had luck with 2400 (older load data, toward the max end of it) under
heavy bullets in the .38: 195-grainers, some of Skip's 160-gr full wadcutter hardcasts. I still get the unburnt powder over everything, but the spreads and accuracy are good. I will certainly continue to use those loads.
Bryan said it best, though:

I wouldn't bother with today's listed 2400 loads.
