No. For one, the shorter .38 Special rounds won't seat in the magazine. Also, unlike revolvers, the Desert Eagle has a formed chamber in which the cartridge seats into the chamber in a manner so that proper headspace is achieved. A .38 Special cartridge will not achieve this headspace, and firing it under those conditions can be very dangerous to the firer and others.

Can 38 special bullets be used in 357 magnum?
Yes you can. The casing of .38 special shells is a mere .10 inch shorter than a .357 magnum shell and will fire easily in a .357 revolver. I've owned a .357 revolver for years and shoot .38 special ammunition in it all the time. Side note: Don't try it in a .357 semi-auto pistol (like a Desert Eagle.) At best the gun will jam and at worst it might cause an unsafe pressure build up.
