I use the same SBH. After running about 2000 rounds through it I can see none of the flame cutting you mention. All I see is just a little lead-colored smudge in the top strap opposite the clynder gap. The load I mostly use is 31.0 gr of winchester 296 behind a 300gr lead cast bullet.
I would contact Ruger costomer support -- you deserve better performance for you money!
