Ok, henry, you've searched long enough. I really don't like to post load data because I could write it wrong or you could read it wrong - but here goes...

From "Cartridges of the World" in the 38 Colt Automatic heading:
115 FMJ - 5.0 gr. Bullseye
125 JHP - 4.7 gr. Bullseye

From Hodgdon Manual #20 (1966) .38 ACP (not .380 ACP):
125 gr. lead bullet - 6.8 gr. HS-6
125 gr. lead bullet - 6.0 gr. HS-5 (if they still make it)

All of these yield roughly 1050 to 1150 fps.
