Lost my load data for .357 magnum

I lost my entire load data sheet (it had every single round I had ever loaded) and I need to load some .357 magnum.
I am using 2400 with 158 grain flat nose plated bullets. Per my thread a couple years ago (right here) the load I had calculated was pretty hot.
Anybody have a good pet recipe for this?

I have used these in a Black Hawk and a Rossi 972. they do have a bit of a kick.
The FPS listed are not mine, but from the source. I have not croned these.
I only use the 2400 loads for their visual effects.
My preference is Bullseye 5.5g, I get 1114 FPS. (158g LSWC)
