They are different cartridges based on dimensions; however, the 38 and 357 can be used interchangeably in a 357 revolver. This is good because of the 38's lesser kick and greater affordability for practice.
IMPORTANT: You can use a 38 round in a 357 revolver because the frame's built to handle the 357's greater strength. Do NOT fire the stronger 357 round from a revolver built for the lesser 38.

There ARE rifles and revolvers chambered for the 44 magnum cartridge. If the weapon is marked ".44 Magnum" then it can be used in that weapon. You should know that there are other .44 caliber catridges, and THOSE weapons (44 Special, 44-40, etc) cannot use 44 magnum loads.

.44 Long? Check your cartridge again. As for your question, whatever you have, I'm almost 100% certain it won't be compatible with a .44 Magnum firearm. The only cartridge backwards compatible with the .44 Magnum is the .44 Special, and even that has limitations. .44 Special can be fired in a .44 Magnum revolver, but you need to check with the manufacturer before attempting this with a rifle, as the rifle will have a headspaced chamber.
