I am looking for a good deer load using 2400 powder. The gun will be a Ruger Blackhawk Old Model. The bullet will be a 255 grain swc.I am looking for a load right at maximum, but safe.

I have now observed people using loads like 18 to 19 grains of 2400. My 2400 powder dates to the 1990,s. I just got back into reloading. Has 2400 powder changed letting you use stiffer charges. My powder is fine. It was stored in a cool dry room in the house.
