steel cylinder for 340pd

My scandium frame/ titanium cylider 340pd, 357 j frame has a warning not to use bullets under 125 gr. I am told this is due to the possibiltiy of excessive wear in the titanium cylinder due to faster bullets.

So, I have been using 158 gr bullets that chrono at around 850-880 fps out of this gun. Too much pressure and the cases tend to stick in the cylinders.

I like the light frame, and don't want an all steel gun, but would consider adding a steel cylinder, if it doesn't cost a fortune and add a whole lot of weight.

Will cylinders from other j frame 357's fit this gun? And is this something that would take a lot of fitting? How much would something like that cost?
