case length is the main criteria. If the 357 is loaded and placed in the 38 special it will extend beyond the cylinder. But the 38 special can be used in the 357 with no problems.

NO,NO,NO,NO,NO.........you CANNOT shoot the 357 cartridge in a 38 special, but you can shoot a 38 special cartridge in a 357 pistol.................the 38 cal. cylinder was not made to house the 357 cartridge or take the pressure.............
Can you shoot a 38 special round out of a 38 S and W?
They are two different calibers, the 38 special round being a later invention. The 38 special should not fit into the 38 S & W chamber. But as the 38 special was not anticipated at the time the 38 S&W was first made, it can have a chamber that does fit the 38 special. As the 38 special is a higher pressure round, and comes in even higher pressure plus P cartridges, it is a bad idea to try to fire these in a 38 S&W revolver. It can crack or burst the cylinder among other things.
Can you shoot regular 38 caliber ammunition in a 38 special?
NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. NO, a 38 Special is actually .357 caliber. A 38 special is NOT a 357 magnum. Both bullet heads are about .357 in diameter. The difference between the 38 and 357 is the length of the brass case. The 357 brass case is a bit longer then the 38 special case, and the gun powder load is a bit higher then the 38 special load...... Further, you can shoot a 38 special case in the 357 magnum revolver, however, you cannot fire a 357 magnum round in the 38 special. The 38 special cylinder is too short for the 357 round......
