I have been feeding my K frames tons of full house magnums of every weight for years, and I haven't seen any sign of forcing cone damage yet. I run full house hand loaded JHP 110 gr., 125 gr., 140 gr., and 158 gr.. And it's actually the 110's and 125's that have been labeled as the forcing cone destroyers, which S&W performed extensive testing that pretty much proved other wise.
As for strap damage, all revolvers will get a certain amount of gas cutting to the top strap. I've never seen it continue cutting beyond the initial stage.
