Alliant has a Max load of 6gr for a 240 LEAD bullet.

The discs on the Lee are only a "guesstimate" you need to use a scale and get the EXACT weight of the charge

I myself would not use BE in a 44 Mag but some folks do. It is a fast powder.

Just my 2 cents
Yes. Its I lite load. I got my data from my Lee's book. Here's the excerpt.
Maybe I should bump it up a bit then? Primer should be fine.
I use the CCI 300's for the 2400 loads and they have no problem firing them.
