Looking for a load. Looking for 800 to 825 fps with a 240 gr bullet, preferably jacketed, out of a 3" barrel. Can find higher and lower velocities but nothing in this range. Any help appreciated.

Even though the starting load is "light" it is a very accurate load. I would think a little experimentation between 7.0 and 7.5 would give the desired result. Generally, the "Factory Loads" for a .44 Special seem to be advertised at about 780 fps which is in the "center" of this recipe. You should be all right in most guns if in good condition even if they are the older ones.......but, BE CAREFUL!
