Not bookface.
I’ve never even heard of it. That’s what it’s called though? .38/200?
I think he was referring to these:
Looks like I have 169gr which should get you in the wheelhouse:
And 170gr from the same mould listed:
This is about as good as yer gonna get, I think. Read the description on the left and it talks about your limey slug.
What manual is that? Always looking for more flammable stuff to add to the stack in the reloading room (not planning on doing any grinding or torch cutting in there anytime soon, ftr.) Bad joke, I know...just a little ribbing.
I didn’t realize it was that cheap!?!?! I need to sign up for that...might be easier than flipping through 7 manuals to find what I want.

Yeah it’s cheap. Might be $29 now but either way it’s a great resource.
When I first signed up a decade ago they had an option to order a binder to put everything in and they also sent a small “Pet Loads” booker from Ken Waters.
Pretty cool set up

Yeah, my first batch of 38 S&W was 150gr projectiles, but I have some 200gr matching the original Webley profile, supposedly, but none of my manuals have data for anything over 140-150.
I've also read a lot of manuals do very light loads on 38 S&W due to the poor quality of a lot of early top break revolvers. One poster on a different forum actually said to use 38 spl data on S&W Terriers and other "quality" 38 S&W revolvers.
