Other than ultra-slow ball powders, if a load is strong enough to propel a bullet out of the barrel, there is no risk of a detonation or "SEE" event.

My standard moderate-to-light 44 Magnum load is 7.0-7.5grs of W231 under a 225gr-270gr lead bullet. This gives me around 850-950 fps out of handguns and just under 1100fps in rifles. It's very mild, pleasant load with decent power - just about what most people are looking for in a 44-Special-load-in-a-44-MAG-case.
I gotta give your load a try in my 8 3/8" barrel 29-2.
