Lyman list 3.5 as the starting load for a 155 gr lead bullet on page 38... at 680fps.
OAL 1.46"
Good shooting.

Hodgon lists starting load of 3.1 for HP38 which gives 782 fps, and a max load of 3.7 for 834 fps. I load 3.8 grain since I’m using plated bullets 158 grain LSWC. All my revolvers are 4” except for one j frame.
If I load the lead I’ll dial it down to maybe 3.5 since they’re not plated and try them out.
