Target loads for sp101 (3") with Berry's bullets?

If you guys have any favorite 38spl loads for Berry's 125 gr FP and 148 HBWC bullets using either Titegroup or 700-X powders, please share them with me. I have gone through 3 loading manuals and have selected my starting loads, but would like to get a second opinion.
Thank you in advance.

My wife uses the same bullets in her GP100 with Bullseye powder. Can't suggest any loads with Titegroup or 700-x but you will love the plated bullets. Much cleaner. The wadcutters are VERY accurate.

3.5 gr of titegroup under the Berry's 125s (OAL of 1.445) gives me great accuracy & very little recoil.

Yurko, that is a lower powder charge that I selected from my reloading manuals. But again, one could argue that Berry's plated bullets are closer in behavior to lead bullets then to jacketed ones.

I just made 5 rnds of your load and I'll give it a try later today.

With such a light charge do you see any effect of the powder position in the case?
