Can you shoot .38 caliber ammo in a 380 caliber handgun?
No. Ammo designated as .38 or .38 special is different than ammo designated as .380. .380 is designed for semi-auto handguns and .38 ammo is for revolvers.More to the point, the .38 Special has a longer case, and a larger diameter projectile. The .38 special bullet measures .357" diameter, the .380 measures .355" diameter. The .38 special is a 'rimmed' cartridge, and the .380 is 'rimless'. Luckily, .38 Special ammo will not fit in a .380 magazine, otherwise the results could be disastrous, possibly turning your .380 handgun into a hand grenade.

.002 inches in bullet diameter. While the bullet is a bit smaller as noted in the answer above the handguns that use these cartridges are very different. A .38 is usually a .38 special, which because of it's rimmed case is predominatley used in revolvers. A .380 is a rimless cartridge used in easily concealed blowback automatic handguns. The .38 special revolver has about 20% more stopping power than the .380 automatic. Both are considered adequate but not powerful personal defense arms.
