Try searching "Handloader Magazine" and articles by Brian Pearce. I know he did a heavy 44 load article in the last few years. I know I saved that issue . I will try to find it this weekend.

Hornady Handbook 8th edition and the Speer Manual #14 have data for 300 grain jacketed bullets ... that's as heavy as they go in both the handgun and rifle sections .
Lyman 4th edition looks to data to 310 grain in cast .
Lyman 50th edition has data for 300 gr. jacketed and 300 grain cast .
Western Powder Handloading Guide 7.0 has data for 300 gr. and 320 gr. cast bullets , they may have more ... check updated load data center :
Western Powders, Inc. and go to load data center .
That's about all I could find in my books,

My little Lyman pamphlet has 12 powders for the Lyman #429650
from 760fps up to 1075fps.
The Lee#C430-310-RF bullet has six powders from 901fps up to 1096.
2400 powder was one of the full loads that had acceptable pressures & fps.

Lee and Lyman data are what I use for 300gr hardcast PC. H110 and #9 work well for me.

300, 320gr
I've shot the 325gr Hodgdon Loads and the 320gr Western Powder 11FS load in my S&W M69 and the 355gr Hodgdon Load in a S&W M629 and a Ruger SRH.
You need to pay attention to neck tension and crimp to avoid crimp jump.
FWIW,
