I think I've fired those and recoil is similar to other .357 ammo, as one would think, given the ballistics. Recoil will be less a factor in your M-27's than in smaller .357's.

I THINK I recall Remington 158 grain JSP as feeling a little hotter. JHP, too, but you're in New Jersey.

I think the load is adequate for deer at close range, with carefully selected shots and will kill coyotes or javelina.

It'd be a good defensive round, especially if you needed deep penetration. And I think it'd deck a big dog.

Considering where you live, I doubt that you'll find a better basic .357 load.
