296/H110 are max performance .357/.44 Mag powders and they are superb in that role. If you want to back down from the 1300fps envelope there are better powders for 1000-1100fps range.

For gloves look for the Mechanix (or harbor freight equivalent) that are made for impact tools. They have gel padding in the palm and finger areas. Used to use them for motorcycle riding.
The padded gloves used by motorcycle racers or weight lifters can be used for shooting gloves in a pinch. Trick is to use padded gloves to protect the nerves in the hand from recoil.
Batting or golf gloves can be used for small bore or low recoiling guns.
Best to wet the light weight gloves before you go online plus use rubber grip panels.
Been using H-110 since before it had the caution about reduced loads, plus switched a long time ago to the SR primers in the 357.
But, Not the 6-1/2's... they are Lame... easily ruptured...
I guess since I started out when all of the manuals...the most recent being the second edition pistol revolver, from Lyman, had a "range" of loadings, I have Never gave it a Moments Thought... Ain't had a Single Problem either!
Gloves??? I broke down and spent some hard earned a very long time ago, on a Pact shooting glove... Still use the thing.
I have not tried to go below minimum with 296/H110. I have also not tried standard primers with it.
I wouldn't do it.
Is loading .38 special ammo an option?
