Since you haven't received a reply maybe I can help!
My Hornady Third Edition shows a beginning load of IMR 4064 of 30.0 grains with a 129 grain Hornady Spire Point for 2300FPS and a max load of 35.4 grains for 2700 FPS.
The noted velocities are from a Type 38 with a 32 inch barrel.
Hope this helps!

Hey Lou, the data I posted is for IMR4064, from the Hornady book, sixth edition.
