Shooting full-power .357 handloads using W296 powder and 125 grain JHP bullets through a 4" GP100 got my son evicted from a local indoor range. The loads DID NOT exceed published data. Complaints were made about the noise and concussion. I used the same load for a while through my 4" 686 (at a different range). Definitely an attention-getter!
Years ago, I was firing factory Remington full-power 125 grain loads through a 4" Model 19 at an indoor club. No, the forcing cone didn't crack. The blast was such that a staffer came running in to see what in hell I was shooting! I haven't done anything with .357 lately. I'm very fortunate in having other guns to play with.
