My understanding as well. You should avoid shooting a lot of
factory loaded ammo with the 125gr and 110gr bullets (and really anything under 140gr or so). Full power magnums with those light bullets are the ones that create the forcing cone issues, and even then you generally have to shoot a LOT of them to create a problem.
If you are reloading your own ammo the lighter bullets should be OK as long as they are loaded at or below the middle of the powder range recommended for that powder and bullet. Personally - I only load the 125gr jacketed bullets at the bottom end of the recommended range - pretty much just above 38 special +P or on the light end of 357 target loads in the 1000-1100 fps range.
