If you want, PM me your mailing address, and I'll go xerox the .38spec, and 357mag sections out of the lee manual, along with the dipper charts from the back of the book and send them out to you.

Bigshooz,
   All of the powder manufactures have web pages where you can get their data at no charge. These are the only places I recomand on the net to get realiable data.

Even thought you may have the information others reading this may not.

Lee is very good about posting most of their instructions on the internet.

If you look at the dipper it will say how many "cc's" of volume it is.  Then you can go to the following load chart and see what for a particular powder that works out to be in weight (approximately).  Then you can go to see if a reloading manual or a powder manufacturer's website if that should be a safe load or not.    

The Lee Loader suggested loads has just simlified things a bit by doing some of the homework already for you.

The general Lee Loader instructions for the rifle version, which is process for the straightwalled 38 Special or 357 Mag is found on their website as well.

Just be careful and make sure that your volume based load as converted to approximate weight is below the max load recommended by the powder manufacturer.  If you go this way always make sure you are using the right powder.
