I have loaded a bunch of 38 cal Berry's 125 gr plated HPs as 357 mag. (before I noted advisories.)

I have clocked the velocity around 1300-1400 fps and not had any problems, not with setback, separation, crimping or keyholing.

The advisories suggest loading more like lead than like jacketed. These seem to work fine with jacketed loads, in 6" barrelled revolver.
