No, that is one advantage of 2400.You can reduce it just don't go too low or you will have incomplete burn, dirty and poor performance. Load just a few at 14 or 15 and a few at 18 see what works best for you.
The difference between 14 and 18 grs will have no change in the amount of leading . It's like Skip (Smith Crazy) stated it's more about fit. If 14 grs of flame go past the bullet or 18 grs of flame it's gonna lead regardless.
Edit.
Forget about the hardness for a moment. Per the Lyman manual the start load for a 240 cast lead bullet in 44 Mag is 18.5 of 2400.
