You can do 44spl with those 240gr and TiteGroup. 6.5gr behind a 240gr will yield 900fps from a 4" barrel (any primer).
Be very careful as TiteGroup is the color of soot and hides in the case. A double charge of 13gr will not blow up a 44mag revolver. However, if you pursue a real 44mag "bear" load using Titegroup, a double charge will fit in the case and tear the gun apart.
I don't know your reloading setup, so I'm being a bit anal in my response. I'm also assuming you are loading for a 44mag revolver.
TiteGroup is a good propellant, it behaves well, but it is quite dense and the biggest source of KABOOM stories.
