Probably because they are the WRONG cartridge for your revolver. The most common mix up is between .38 S&W, and .38 Special. the .38 S&W is shorter and fatter, and does NOT interchange with the .38 Special. There are at least 6 different .38 pistol cartridges- such as .38 Short Colt, .38 Super, 38 New Police, etc
The term ".38 Special CTG" is an abbreviated way of saying .38 Special Cartridge. It is the caliber marking for a revolver that fires that cartridge. While it is NOW the most common .38 caliber cartridge, there are more than a dozen DIFFERENT .38 revolver catridges that were made at one time.
Your Rossi revolver fires the .38 special cartridge.

No. The .38 Special cartridge can be fired in a .357 Magnum revolver - and only a revolver, which does not require chamber headspacing - but it doesn't work the other way around. The .357 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit into a .38 Special cylinder, and the .357 Sig cartridge is in no way compatible, either with the .357 Magnum or the .38 Special.
It depends on what you mean. A .38 revolver may be a .38 special, but there are other types of .38 besides just the special round.
No
A ".38 +P revolver" is simply a .38 Special revolver which is rated to fire +P loads. It's still a .38 Special, and the +P doesn't change the dimensions of the round itself.
The parts of the 38 revolver include a replaceable cylinder, ammunition, a speed loader a moon clip. The 38 revolver is basically used to fire bullets to specific targets.
