Just the bullets, or the complete cartridge? You'd be looking at anywhere from $25 - $75 for a box of 50, depending on the load and manufacturer.
No, but a 38 special will work in a 357
No, there are .357 caliber bullets that are not magnum, but they are in the minority.
If the weapon is chambered in 357 Magnum, you can fire the round in it.
Your gun is a 357 and can shoot both 357 ammo and 38 special ammo. The nice thing about these guns is you can practice at the range with 38S bullets, which are much cheaper, and save the 357 ammo for home defense.
Yes, but please use the correct term- cartridges. Not bullets. A .38 Special is basically a .357 Short, and you can safely shoot .38 Special in a .357 magnum. The opposite is NOT true.
357- as in .357 magnum, is the diameter of the bullets fired in fractions of an inch. It uses a bullet that is 0.357 inches wide.
38 or 357
Yes
No. <><><> Above is correct- however, ,38 Special CARTRIDGES can be used in a .357 magnum revolver. The .38 Special is actually not .38 caliber, but .357 caliber. .38 caliber bullets, such as used in the .38 S&W catridge, cannot be used.
The .45 caliber is bigger in diameter. If you mean weight. The .45 caliber is generally heavier. However there are some lightweight .45 caliber bullets that are lighter than .357 caliber bullets. Generally speaking .45 caliber bullets weigh between 180 - 230 grains. While .357 caliber bullets generally weigh between 158 - 180 grains. If you are talking about diameter, the .357 caliber bullets are approximately 0.357 inches in diameter. The .45 caliber is approximately 0.450 inches in diameter. Again, using this measure, the .45 caliber is the larger bullet.
The ammunition is called .357 Sig. Most pistols in .357 Sig can shoot the .40 S&W when you drop in a .40 S&W barrel.
The outside of the cartridge case is .38. The .357 bullet fits inside the cartridge case.
