Default .357 ammo

I have a Smith L frame and with ammo getting harder to find I stumbled accross two boxes of Hornaday, 357 Mag, 140 gr FTX, LEVERevolution. The guy at the store says it is loaded for rifles, but of course will work perfectly in the revolver. The rounds have a small amount of plastic in the nose which I'm told, causes even more hollowpoint expansion. He made the comment that this would be terrific home protection round. I'm not promoting the .357 for a home protection gun, but are any of you familier with this round? Pros, cons? Thanks----------John
