Need some 38 spl data....

I came accross some free 125gr SWC to load up for my 38 special, but there is a problem, I can't find any data for this bullet. They are Vance bullets if that helps any one. I am also using Bullseye powder. Any info would be appriciated.

Alliant shows a cowboy load using Bullseye behind a 125 grain lead swc. The min. load is 2.8 grains producing 690 fps in a 6.5 inch test barrel. The max. is 4.8 grains for 1,024 fps. The overall length is 1.45 inches.

It's a lead bullet. I forgot to mention that. I never looked at the cowboy data, I will check that out.
