According to my Accurate loading manual, the maximum charge for a 240 gr lead bullet is 21.7 grains of #9, with a starting charge of 19.5 grains. The max charge gives you 1550 fps out of a 7 1/2" barrel. Assuming these are loaded in magnum brass and assembled properly, there shouldn't be a problem. Might be a little on the warm side, but that's what you get with a large caliber.
