Find an old Lyman reloading manual. they have a lot of loads for 38-55. For my hi-wall long range target rifle I use RL7 and 4895, not near my loading bench so cant give yoiu the grain wgt's but both work well. cast hard 255 gr gas check bullets.
For light short range loads try full loads of Pyrodex Rifle grade, but it is corrosive so clean thoroughly after shooting.

My old Lyman give loads for a 250 gr lead bullet;
9.9 gr unique=1355 fps, 15 gr 2400= 1350, 16 gr 4227= 1475.
2400 sometimes won't burn fully at lower pressure.
Good luck!
