Default Monarch .357 158gr SJHP

Picked up 4 boxes today at Academy. I did a search here, didn't find anything. Any of you tried this stuff? I have fired Monarch 9mm and it was fine, just burned a little dirty. I'm curious if these 158grn Monarchs are very hot etc...Thanks

I shot some through my M28 on thursday. It did not feel significantly hotter or louder than my own 160 gr lsw .38 reloads. Now granted my reloads are probably approaching +p pressures but the Monarchs felt mild. In one of the .357 mag J-frames things might be different.
