No- two different cartridges.
Yes, you can shoot a .38 Special cartridge in a .357 Magnum revolver because the .357 Magnum revolver is designed to also accommodate the .38 Special cartridge.
No. The .38 Special cartridge can be fired in a .357 Magnum revolver - and only a revolver, which does not require chamber headspacing - but it doesn't work the other way around. The .357 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit into a .38 Special cylinder, and the .357 Sig cartridge is in no way compatible, either with the .357 Magnum or the .38 Special.
Yes, you can shoot .38 Special ammunition out of a .357 Magnum revolver. The .357 Magnum revolver is designed to also shoot .38 Special ammunition, as the .38 Special cartridge is shorter than the .357 Magnum cartridge.
Yes, you can safely shoot a .38 Special cartridge in a .357 Magnum revolver. The .357 Magnum revolver is designed to handle both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges.
Your Rossi revolver fires the .38 special cartridge.
The term ".38 Special CTG" is an abbreviated way of saying .38 Special Cartridge. It is the caliber marking for a revolver that fires that cartridge. While it is NOW the most common .38 caliber cartridge, there are more than a dozen DIFFERENT .38 revolver catridges that were made at one time.
No difference. CTG is the abbreviation for cartridge. A revolver marked 38 Special CTG, or .38 S&W Special CTG is simply indicating that it is chambered for a .38 Special cartridge. This IS different from .38 S&W, and older, shorter, fatter, less powerful cartridge.
if you allude to 38 S&W cartridge then you will find the case is shorter then a 38 Spl. case. You can fire a 38 S&W cartridge in a 38 Special but you can't fire a 38 Special in a pistol designed for the 38 S&W cartridge.
If the .38 special cartridge protrudes out the back of the cylinder of your smith and wesson,then your revolver may be chambered for the .38 S&W cartridge which is shorter.If the .38 special Cartridge will not even enter the cylinder,then it could be chambered for the 32-20 Winchester cartridge.I would advise you to have a compitent gunsmith check the chambering of your revolver.
Yes, you can shoot a .38 Special bullet from a .38 revolver, as the revolver is specifically designed to handle that caliber. The .38 Special is a common cartridge used in revolvers, and most .38 revolvers are chambered for this round. However, ensure that the revolver is in good condition and rated for the specific loads being used to ensure safety.
It's a .38 Special revolver. +P applies to the cartridge, and indicates a more powerful load than a standard round of the calibre. In this case, it would be a .38 S&W Special with a +P loading, hence .38 Special +P. You can fire regular .38 S&W Special cartridges through it. Whether or not it can fire +P or +P+ ammo, you need to read the instruction manual and find the manufacturer's information on this.
Overall length The 38 special is a stronger cartridge. If you have a .38 Special revolver it can still shoot a .38 S&W but not the other way around.
