In 1987 #2400 was "safe" for use in loads for a .38 Special, but with todays modern metallurgy loads are not listed? I have used #2400 in .357 magnum for years and I keep going back to it when I can find it. #2400 has always been accurate in any .357 I have loaded. I was just not satisfied with results of other powders for .38 Special. So I tried #2400 . Thanks again
