Received the gun back with a letter advising the gun had been used with excessive pressure loads and would not be repaired and they advised that I throw it away.

Eray: I have seen several Colt Trooper full size .357's buckle their frames after use with .357 mag ammo. I have heard it is not uncommon. Colt no longer makes DA revolvers.
OSPREY: If you wish, I propose a test using a Model 19 and 125 Grain Magnum ammo to bury that myth as well. I'd gladly donate a few bucks to support that one.
