.38 special JSP information

[bigchinner]

HI all. I'm almost done reloading most of my 125grn Jacket flat point stuff but had some sierra 158 grn JSP. I wanted to load them but don't have the exact information from Speer manual, manual that came with dies and from titegroup bottle. the suggested start is 10% less than 3.8 titegroup from the hodgdon bottle for 158 grn LSWC. However, these are jacket and not wadcutters. I'm thinking 3.4 to 3.5 to start. ANy thoughts? thanks
