The newer Remington 125 grain Golden Saber are loaded to lesser velocity than the old 125s from the 70's for this specific reason.. You can shoot all the +P and +P+ .38s you want in a .357. The only problem you'll have with them is a build up of carbon in the cylinder that will make it hard to get the .357s to chamber properly.

AAAAARGH!!!! What he said.^^^^^^^^ The confusion, misinformation and disinformation about this is about to wear out this old-timer. The bullet weight is mostly irrelevant. The 125 grain factory loads are loaded MUCH hotter than 110s, and if one works at it, he can damage a gun with ANY bullet weight. The only way that the weight or length of the bullet matters is that by the time you get enough powder behind a 158gr. or heavier bullet to cause progressive forcing cone damage, you're at a level of potential catastrophic failure.
