i am wanting to load some "FBI" loads for a .38 Special. Can someone point me to a good source for 158 gr. LSWCHP bullets that can be pushed fairly fast?

Not sure what you mean by "fairly fast" Bernie, but I like the gas-checked 158gr SWC-HPs from Rimrock Bullets for mid-range loads in my .357s. They don't lead my barrels, they shoot well, and the hollow point is a pretty good sized cavity. Besides all that, Rimrock ships their bullets in plastic boxes that you can reuse for your completed handloads.
Those RimRock bullets posted above are what Buffalo Bore uses in some of their over-the-top 38 loads. My experience with a few boxes of ammo was very good.
It looks like only the Hornady bullets are in stock right now but I'm sure if you look around the NET you can probably find the Speer bullets in stock too.
My favorite 158 LSWC-HP for .38 Spl +P, is the Speer swaged model. Softer than the Hornady version, it reliably expands beautifully like an advertisement, and is very accurate at full tilt. A worked up max charge of Power Pistol from the Alliant guide, shot in a 3" Model 60, has my ProChrono Digital saying an avg of 927 fps. Unique works well too, with velocities of just over 900 fps. These loads are NO JOKE, and hit very hard. Good luck.
