the 92 is pretty strong, especially in .357

Actually I thought I had read that the 92 action was stronger than the 94 action. There was some controversy when people started chambering 92's in .454Casull, but they seem to work to some extent. The .357 case is only about 2/3 the case head area of the larger .45 cases, so it can operate at a lot higher pressure and still not put as much rearward thrust into the bolt and locking lugs.
That's not to say that you can load a 92 with impunity, and you have to make sure it is in good shape and fitting properly, but I don't think a .357 is much of a challenge for it.
