Probably somewhere around 3.8gr to 4.4gr. Probably high 800's to mid 900's fps if I was to guess.

Sometimes you can't find your exact load so you just have to guess.

KT - do you mean Keith Type? I would have a mighty tough time believing that Elmer would have provided a design for something that light.

My listings for the .38 special, dated 2004, show a 95 grain cast round nose using 3.3-5.3 (staying at standard pressure) with veolcities at 765 to 1110. A 121 grain cast round nose design show 2.8/690 to 4.6/1001. I can't see anything for a 110 grain cast, but this is hardly an exclusive list. So like the man says, you just have to guess.

Lyman 48th shows 3.3gr start and 5.3gr max for 90gr and 2.8gr start and 4.6gr max for 120gr. You should be fine with a starting load in the low 3.x range.

I load 38s super light for kids and new shooters. I use 3.5 grains of Bullseye with 95 and 125 grain lead bullets. Accurate enough for my purposes.
