Help with 38 spl loads with WSF

Does anyone have anyone have any experience with WSF in 38spl using 125gr plated lead (Rainier)? Thanks for any data you can provide.

I have used WSF in .357 Magnum with 125 grain JHP's, but haven't tried it in .38 Special. It burns kind of slow for .38, especially with light bullets.

I find WSF to be interchangeable with Herco, but YMMV. I wish Hodgdon or Winchester would publish load data for WSF in revolver cartridges, but they never have.
