Lee's got some loads for the 148 grain for both .38 and .357.

148 grain wadcutter - .38 - Bullseye - 2.6 - never over2.8 = 769 - 815 fps

148 grain wadcutter - . 357 - Bullseye - 5.2 - never over 5.7 = 1354 - 1475 fps

Got some for Unique as well - page 555 and 565 -in Modern Reloading: Second Edition, Richard Lee

Be careful - I suspect lead all over the place as you get hotter.

Just a hunch.

God bless.
