What is the difference between a 357 cal bullet and a 38 Cal Bullet?

The .357 has a longer case and a heavier bullet; it is identical to a .38 in diameter but far more powerful.

This is why a .38 will fire in a .357 but not the other way around.

Will a 410 gauge shoot a 38 cal bullet?

You might possibly be able to get it to fire, but you should never try to fire any ammo from any gun other than what it's designed to fire or what the manufacturer says it will fire. It might damage the gun or hurt the shooter.

I just picked up a sw 38 spl ctg airweight with 2 inch barrel i bought some 38 spl rounds with 130 grain fmj i tested the bullet end at the end of the barrel and it doesn't fit. What correct ammo?

.38 special IS the correct ammo for a gun chambered in .38 special. Trying to take a round and push it into the barrel is not the way to "test" to see if it's the correct ammo because the cartridge or bullet won't fit into the barrel that way unless you force it. If the gun is a .38 special, you buy .38 special ammo and it will work.

Can you Hollow point ammo in lever action?

Hollowpoint bullets will cycle throught both my Marlin 1894 and Rossi '92 copy, both guns are .44 Rem Mag. These guns have digested every factory JHP bullet without any problems. I also use Lyman Devastator cast hollowpoints, these will cycle fine too but sometimes hang up in the Marlin when chambering causing the mouth of the hollopoint to deform slightly, this can be resolved by loading the bullets in .44 Special cases.

How far can a 9mm bullet travel?
