Would the frames of these guns withstand full powered .357 loads, or should one stick with a lighter cowboy action-type .357 load? I would probably tend to stick with that or the .38's, but wanted to ask just to see. Thanks in advance.

Hi CJ and welcome. This is rated for Standard SAAMI Pressure .357 Magnum loads no issue. Just nothing like the Buffalo Bore Heavy Magnum : https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=100

Ed C. · Answer

C J , this is straight from the Cimarron web site - 
"We recommend that you shoot only standard over the counter ammunition that meet SAMMI specifications, http://www.saami.org/.

Shooting any ammo like +P or reloads will void the warranty on the gun.

Cimarron Firearms does not have any plans to make any guns that shoot +P ammunition."
Stay safe & have a great day!
