44 magnum, 240 grain JHP:
H110 MAX load: 24.0 grains
H110 MIN load : 22.0 grains
While it's obvious that there is danger above the max load with most ANY cartridge do to overpressure, the catastrophic DETONATION of a slightly reduced H110 load is far more likely to blow a 44mag pistol completely to bits.

Both guns do beast/best running wide open, so as a handloader my DE was a bit of a disappointment, because you just use the max load of H110/296 and be done with it. For the .50 that's 32.5 grains under a 325 JHP.
From a historical perspective, H110 was specifically created for the 30M1 carbine round used in WWII. Basically, (and NOT actually, but pretty damn close!) you fill up a 30M1 case with H110 and smush the bullet down on top of it.
