Yes, a .357 Magnum cartridge can be fired in a revolver chambered for .38 Special, as the .357 Magnum has the same dimensions as the .38 Special but is longer. However, it's important to note that .38 Special ammunition cannot be safely fired in a gun designed only for .357 Magnum, as it could lead to potential malfunctions or safety issues. Always ensure the firearm is appropriate for the ammunition being used.
