Depends on how you would like "power" defined. The .38 Special cartridge has between 200 and 300 ft lbs of energy- less than a .357 Magnum, more that a .32 auto.

Can you fire 357 ammo in a 38 special?

No, you should not fire .357 ammo in a .38 Special gun as the .357 ammo is longer and more powerful, which can be dangerous and damage the gun.


Is a webley and Scott 38 calibur the same as a 38 super. Will this revolver shoot 38 super ammo?

No! Do not attempt to do this! <><><><> Strongly agree with answer above. Your revolver is possibly caliber ,38 S&W (NOT .38 Special) If you were able to load and fire a .38 Super, it will likely destroy the gun- and will not do you a lot of good. Please have a gunsmith examine it and check caliber before shooting anything in it.

No. .38 Long Colt was the forerunner to .38 Special- and was originally a black powder cartridge. The .38 Special is more powerful- the .357 magnum is MUCH more powerful. Neither the Special nor the magnum should be fired in a gun chambered for .38 Long Colt. This is VERY dangerous.
