But I can't find load data for 105gr. cast. There's plenty of info available for 110gr. cast though. Can I extrapolate a recipe from one to the other? Am I being too particular? After I get a recipe figured out, then I need to learn how to lube these little guys. I love this stuff.
Any 38/357 loads I produce will run through my S&W 28-2 that I love to shoot.

There is no reason to extrapolate anything, you can safely use the 110gr cast bullet data directly with the 105gr cast bullet. It's perfectly safe with such a small difference in weight but like said above, you should not go the other way around.
Are you sure the bullets aren't lubed? It sounds strange they are not. Is there a crimp groove on the bullet or are they really meant for loading .380 Auto ammo?
Keep us updated on the results, I'm now very curious. lol
