The 38 and 357 use the same dia. bullets you can use them in either 38 or 357. THe only difference in the cartridge is the 357 is .1" longer. the real difference is in the firearm. mostly you will find that 357 ammo will not fit in a 38 the chamber is too short. you can put a 38 into a 357 chamber and people use 38 ammo in their 357 for practice all the time. Older 38 cannot handle the higher pressures generated by the .357 ammo.
