so e-mail me and I'll send them on over to you.

I'd also encourage you to Google this information a bit more in this forum. We developed 140-gr lead equivalents--which equal a much cheaper practice round.

And, be sure to download and see what RAMSHOT's current recipe book shows for loads like this. Personally, I have found RAMSHOT's True Blue to be a fantastic 38 Special round.

PS: You might want to chase down 158-gr. loads. I now run a 158-gr. LHP at about 900 fps from the 2" j-frames for a good hard-hitting round. It's built in a 357 case so is a downloaded 357 round--anything more than 900-910 fps from a 2" barrel and the swaged bullet strips out.
 
If this is what you guys were after great, if not sorry. It's all I had. It wasn't a pdf, just a jpeg document.

Years ago we did extensive work replicating that load. I found a good bullet choice is the 140gr Hornady XTP because of price and availability. I have also found AA#5 to be a great choice in powders for the .38 Special +P Short Barrel load and Powder Pistol for the .357 Magnum Short Barrel load.
