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.
