Muddyboots: If you're loading "plinkers", the 231 works nicely at around six grains.
Eons ago, for hunting loads, I used a bunch of 2400. Disremember how much, but any book gives you starting points. Dirty, but the burn-rate was great. In today's world, there is a lot of cleaner-burning stuff; I've used 4227...
I happen to like the format of the Sierra loading book, plus the ballistic tables are handy in comparing different rifle bullets. Lots of data at sites on the Net, but I prefer having the ready-made hard copy; old-fashioned, that way.
While I enjoy (?) shooting a .454 Casull, I see no point in beating myself to death. I shoot a lot more plinkers than hot stuff, and get the old muscle-memory trained. Then, you automatically "do it right" when you turn loose a Thumper...
FWIW; hope it helps...Art
