So I could probably do some research and figure this out but I thought I'd query here first. I mean, that's research too . . . right?

Is there a difference between 38 special and 357 mag brass?

I'm guessing you can load 357's as 38 specials, but not the other way around. Yes? No? Help?

Haven't done any loading of either one yet. Just got the gun. (see post in revolver forum) Still need to get dies and bullets. Have lotta powder and primers.

Life is good, good, good.
