I know .357 bullets less than 158 grain should generally be avoided in the K frames due to forcing cone issues, but I have 38 rounds of the Winchester 110 grain HP's left from 5 years ago when I bought the 66-2 I have ( 12 bucks a box for 50 rounds-remember those days?). I have heard that modern 110 grains are nothing like the 110 grain ammo made in the 70's when the K frames were experiencing the forcing cone issues. Anyone more knowledgeable than am care to comment?

I agree with this. The 110 grain .357 duplicated the ballistics of the so-called 38 Special Treasury load, a 110 grain 38 Special, +P+. So, if you want to know what they had back in the 70s, shoot away. It would take alot more than what you have to do any damage.
