Default Fiocchi 357 mag 125, 142, 148, 158 gr ammo

Anyone have experience with this ammo? Price is right. How does it shoot? Mild, hot, clean, dirty, like, dislike, whatever you can tell me.

If you go to Midway and read the reviews on the 158 grain JHP ammo, you can see what I thought of it (Jim G review). In short, it is great ammo for the price point. And if you reload, the Fiocchi cases hold up very well too. Great stuff for it's price point.

I put a box or two of the 142gn FMJ-TC through the 2.5” Model 19 I used to own.
It didn’t seem to be a full magnum load, but I don’t have a chronograph. Still, that FMJ-TC bullet seemed like it would go through things that need going through.
