I don't see why it wouldn't, it happens because the 38 Spec case is shorter than the 357 Mag case and the carbon builds up in the area in front of the case mouth. The 38 Spec is shorter than a 357 Mag whether it is in a revolver or a rifle. So yes, you will get a carbon ring in the chamber. Not a problem as long as you clean your rifle.
