Yeah I shoot a lot of .357 and .44 mag so I kick myself for only buying one 8 lb jug at a time .Mine should run out about 2558 or there abouts but I'll never know for sure. Condolences.

I have plenty of #2400, but if I didn't, I'd buy an 8-pounder of AA#9. It's very close to #2400 in all respects and it's available. I've only tried it in .357 Magnum, but I'm confident it will work well in other magnum handgun cartridges.
Of course H110/296 will also work as a replacement for #2400, but you have to put up with that horrendous blast and fireball.

Does #9 require a magnum primer like H110 does ?

Try Ramshot Enforcer.

IMHO, Enforcer and AA#9 make “decent” stand in’s for 2400. Enforcer is a little slower and #9 is a little faster. I’ve used #9 in 357, 10mm, and 44 magnum with good results. Only 357 so far with Enforcer.

I have about 1.5 lbs left of it...I'd I basically only use it for 180g 44 mag loads (where it is an exceptional powder for that round)...I'll be sad when I finally run out.
Finished the last of my 2400 stash .
Sad??? Good riddance to Alliance! Movin' on!

I have loaded a lot of handgun ammo with Alliant Powders. I started out, like a lot of us did, when it was Hercules. Powders such as Unique, Bullseye, Blue , Red ,Green Dot and 2400 populated my shelves. These powders, for me, were reliable, trustworthy, economical and perhaps most important were always available and affordable. I reveled in duplicating the old school loads by Skelton, Keith, Taffin, etc. I took much joy in pouring that 7.5 grs of Unique under those 240 gr Keith cast SWC. Yes I can find other powders to do the same job I suppose but it's just not the same. End of an era and yes it is kind of sad.

And there's something wrong with that?
I'd give the left side of my right ....... for some 2400.

Nothing wrong with it if you like the blast and fireball.
I thought the blast and fireball was the main reason to shoot 357 / 44 Mag........

I'm very afraid that this is the new normal.
I have suitable substitute powders, but I miss the old
standards.
ETA:
I also remember stocking on Win primers when they
were $9.99/thousand.
