well yes and no...

I have used this can of 2400 for 41mags years ago. I looked back and the old recipe for that with a 215 grain bullet, well let us say more than 16 grains of 2400 for a stout load.

With the Speer book showing 15.5 max, -10% rounded off to 14?

Also, the 14 to 14.5 gain seems to be an extremely common load. I'm not cutting a new path with this.
