Default .38 Special and 2400 powder

OKAY, I just bought a bottle of Alliant 2400 powder after hearing on this and other internet sources that it could "safely" propel a 158 gn Lead .38 Special +P load up to .38-44 Hi Speed or Buffalo Bore velocities......


....well 1st thing I noticed was...it's not listed in my manuels under .38, 38+P or even .357 Magnum lead bullets. the 2nd thing was that it is labled "Smokeless MAGNUM Handgun Powder".....

Is his REALLY safe? And is is safe to be using "i heard it on the internet" loading data?
