And if so, would .38s also be OK in the rifle?
Cartridge length can be a problem in the '92 clones and Marlins. Usually not so much for a '66 or '73 clone. If you reload you can seat the bullet in a .38 out to duplicate .357 length.
I've been shooting lever action rifles for 30 years or so. I've been shooting CAS since 1997. For price, reliability and general use the Marlin is hard to beat. The Henry 'Big Boy' is a usable gun if you shoot it slowly and can tolerate the occasional jam. I have seen one Big Boy, out of dozens, successfully complete a CAS Match.
