Was mentioned that 2400 might be what I was looking for cause it was more forgiving in loaded amount of powder so I could develop a load that had acceptable accuracy and recoil. What I am learning is that I need to take in to account the speed of the bullet also, I imagine that speed equates to recoil, more speed more recoil.

Look at the burn rate chart. The slower
pistol/shotgun powders are the better full Magnum powders. The Medium burn rates will give you just that middle of the road.
2400 meters very well. I do believe the original 357 loads were developed with 2400.
Blue Dot is a good Magnum powder but does not meter well and is filthy if used at the lower end of the charge rate.
