The case is longer.

MUCH LONGER.


For very good reasons.

Even though diameter wise they are compatible the .357 carries much higher pressures. The .38 is based upon black powder numbers. Originally, a round was manufactured that was loaded to .357 magnum power, but in a .38 size casing. The Result: blown up guns.
