I forget where I got the reload info (Lyman? Lee?) but I ran about 12.5gr with Berry's 240 FP for years before moving to 800x for years. I found going as high as the other poster mentioned was WAY hot for the plated.
I had to move to 800x due to the powder shortage. Metering is a little worse but 800x has a wider accuracy window to play in.
Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

Good catch, and mistake the cast bullets the bullets a jacketed.
To add that the cast bullest are not gas checked, so you don't want to be pushing them fast through a 44 mag anyways (or will end up with barrel leading).
So on that note, would save the blue dot for another load, and would pick a powder that burns slightly faster and more predictable to hold the speed of the casted bullets to under 1K fps instead.
