Load recipe for 128 gr. RNFP .38 Spl.?

Does anyone have a recipe they've used for a 128 gr. lead RNFP in .38 Spl.? The only one I could find that was close is for a 130 gr. SWC using N100 or S1000, two powders I've never seen or used. A Clays recipe for the above bullet would be much appreciated. Thanks.

What did you plan to use it for? I use 3.2 grains of Tite Group but it is a very light CAS load, about 700 FPS.

For a 128 gr lead in 38spl, try somewhere between 3 and 3.5gr of Clays.

It will be a practice/plinking load for my Python, griz.

Thanks for the Clays info., bedlamite; that was the range I was going to try.
