I'll bet that cowboy load for the Colt Short in the IMR manual would be a safe choice with TrailBoss, especially in a HE. The S&W case is about .020" longer and .3 grain/water greater volume than the Colt. 135 gr bullet, 1.5 gr TrailBoss= 490 fps starting load---They probably don't quote loads for 38S&W because of all the old BP Topbreak revolvers out there--Regards--
