When using a magnum case over a Special case I have found adding .1gr to the .38 Special data makes the jump in case size. Sorry I don't have any data for Red Dot.
 
Use .38 spl data. Pick upper listed loads if it makes you more comfortable. Pressures are so far below the .38 +P ceiling that it's not exactly critical in a .357, and 148gr WCs tend to be seated at different depths, depending on loader anyways. Actually I had trouble finding listed loads that even met the standard 38 spec load ceiling.
 
On Monday I was looking at an old manual a buddy had that had the info in it with some pretty stiff magnum wadcutter loadings in 357 cases. It was an RCBS cast bullet manual from 1986.
