I agree. My first choice would be 2400 for a reduced load in cases from .44 on up. I am more interested in the comment freedom475 made about downloading 296. I remember warnings about downloading/detonation issues when I started loading 296 30 + years ago. It was never an issue for me since I used 296 to get the maximum performance out of the cartridge I was loading. That is what is was made for and I still use it today. I would hate to think I was operating on bad information and passing it on to a new shooter/reloader. Tomorrow I will contact Winchester and see what they have to say about this. This post is not meant to start an argument. It has promted me to see if I need to relearn something I have accepted as fact for a long time.It's that OCD thing. I need to know . . . . . .
