Can you use 38 or 38 special bullet in a rifle?
To the best of my knowledge, no manufacturer has even made a .38 Special rifle, so no. .38 Special can be used in .357 Magnum revolvers, but that's because revolvers don't have a headspaced chamber - this cannot be done in firearms which have a headspaced chamber (as rifles typically do).

Attempting to use the wrong ammunition could lead to dangerous malfunctions or damage to the firearm. Always use the correct caliber ammunition specified for your rifle.

Can 38 special be shot in 357 mag Winchester?
In a lever action rifle? No, it's not recommended. .38 Special rounds are compatible with .357 revolvers because the cylinders aren't a formed chamber which requires proper headspacing. The .357 lever action rifle, however, does have a formed chamber designed specifically for the longer .357 Magnum cartridge. With a .38 Special round loaded into it, it won't achieve proper headspacing, causing a potentially catastrophic situation.
Can you shoot 38 special ammo in a Winchester 1873?
No, you cannot shoot .38 Special ammunition in a Winchester 1873 rifle, as it is designed for .44-40, .38-40, or .32-20 cartridges, depending on the specific model. The .38 Special is a shorter cartridge and is not compatible with the chamber of the Winchester 1873. Always use the appropriate ammunition specified for your firearm to ensure safety and proper function.
Can a 38 special kill a hog?
If you placed the shot right, then yes, it could. However, if I had to pick a round for that purpose, the .38 Special would not be it. If you're hunting wild hogs, or just trying to put down a domesticated one, you really need a rifle.
Can you use 38 special in 357 mag rifle?
Not recommended. Unlike a revolver, a .357 Magnum rifle will have a chamber measured out to achieve headspace with the .357 Magnum cartridge. When loaded with a .38 Special cartridge, proper headspace will not be achieved, and the potential for a catastrophic failure of the firearm - to the point even where it may cause serious injury or death to the firer - is greatly increased.
