not a big diff you can shot the 38 spl in the 357 but you cant shot the 357 in the 38 spl i had the 357 and loved it it is a good gun and can kill but the 38 is a good gun to but if it was me i would go for the 357 it is a little biger Depends on what you mean by bigger. The actual bullet (the piece of lead) is the same size. The .357 cartridge is longer and holds more powder.
Oddly enough, both are about .35 Caliber, which is why one can fire a .38 Special round out of a .357 Magnum.the .38 Special has an actual diameter of .357 and the .380 has a diameter of .355. So the .38 special is larger and they are typically heavier than the .380 (110gr vs 90gr).
The .38-40 Winchester Center Fire (WCF) has a slightly longer case than the .357 Magnum - 1.30 inches vs. 1.29 inches for the .357 Magnum. They both have an overall length of 1.59 inches. However, the two cartridges are in no way compatible, nor are they compatible for reloads in the other caliber.
.38 Special is a rimmed cartridge, designed for revolvers, while .38 Super is designed for semi auto pistols, and uses a recessed canneleure, rather than a rim. Additionally, the .38 Super has a bullet diameter of .355 inches, vs. the .38 Special's bullet diameter of .357 inches.

both good
357 has more stopping power. It also has quite a bit more recoil, though.
