Does anyone have a source/recommendation for 158gn HP-LSWC for 38 Specials but from a commercial company. I'm not in a place to get into casting my own yet. Thanks-

He's looking for Hollowpoint bullets. It's the bullet used in the old .38 Spl./.357 Mag. FBI load.

RimRock bullets are the best for this. They have a cast 158gr HP LSWC with a gas check. It's what Buffalo Bore uses in their ammo. Not cheap, but available. RimRock 158gr HP LSWC gas check
Hunters Supply makes one as well, don't think it has the gas check: Hunters Supply 158gr HP

^^^^ This ! I've bought 2 boxes of 500 rds. from Hunters Supply, same bullets you're wanting, good product. I load mine with a light load of Win. 231 for .38 Spl. testing , no leading whatsoever from them.

Since I blew the HP, I'll try again. MidSouth shows a Magnus in stock.

Yes, those are good bullets but so are the ones from Speer and Hornady, also available for Midsouth Shooters. I use both the Speer or Hornady bullets for my replica FBI loads. (I like the Hornady best)

Unfortunately they are currently out of stock but save the links and check every few days. At least the Magnum bullets are in stock which are also good bullets. The only thing I don't like about the Magnum bullets is they are sized to .357" instead of .358" like the other two. The difference is slight but can cause leading in some revolvers.
EDIT:
Wideners has the Speer bullets in stock and for only $39.25/500.

speers are soft lead so keep them running slow.
I like these 158gr and you can run them fairly hot. -
