Assuming you're talking about a .38 special and a .357 magnum, the difference is, the .357 magnum has a slightly longer chamber. The two cartridges (commonly, but incorrectly called "bullets") are the same diameter, but the .357 is slightly longer, and normally produces higher pressure and velocities when fired.You can fire a .38 special in a gun chambered for .357, but cannot fire a .357 in a gun chambered for .38 special.
380 - 357 = 23
89.25
No. 357 is not evenly divisible by eight.
Yes, you can use .38 rounds in a .357.
ya
No. You can get a Sig P229 that will fire .357 Sig, but that is not the same as .357 magnum.

No.
.357 is the measurement of the bore of a gun. .357 Magnum is the name for a particular rimmed cartridge that uses .357 bullets. There are other cartridges using the same size bullet, but they are named differently because they are not interchangeable with .357 Magnum due to different case dimensions. People often call .357 Magnum just ".357" for short because it is the most common cartridge with this number in the name. It's the same as 9mm Luger being shortened to just "9mm" because it's the most common of the nines.
Yes. The barrel has to be replaced with the .357 sig barrel, but the magazines are the same.
No. They both use a different diameter bullet and the case is different. The .357 Sig case is a bottle-necked version of the .40 S&W case. The .357 mag is a longer version of the .38 Special.
not a big diff you can shot the 38 spl in the 357 but you cant shot the 357 in the 38 spl i had the 357 and loved it it is a good gun and can kill but the 38 is a good gun to but if it was me i would go for the 357 it is a little biger Depends on what you mean by bigger. The actual bullet (the piece of lead) is the same size. The .357 cartridge is longer and holds more powder.
To convert 357 kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. So, 357 kilograms is equal to 357,000 grams.
.357 Sig and .357 Magnum are not even close. .357 Magnum is a rimmed, straight walled cartridge for use in revolvers. .357 Sig is a rimless, bottle necked cartridge used in semiautomatic pistols. They don't even use the same bullet diameter. Other than the name, there is almost no similarity. In other words, NO.
No. Revolvers use the rimmed .357 Magnum cartridge. While there are automatics designed to fire this cartridge (Coonan and Desert Eagle, primarily), it's not the same as the cartridge you had in mind. If you saw a Glock marked '.357', that means it's chambered for the .357 Sig cartridge - not the .357 Magnum. While the .357 Magnum is essentially a lengthened .38 Special, the .357 Sig is an entirely different cartridge, consisting of a .40 S&W casing, necked down to fit a 9mm projectile. The cartridge name is a reflection of the attempts at the designer to come up with an automatic pistol cartridge which could duplicate the performance of the .357 Magnum.
Most newer generation Glocks can shoot the .357sig in a .40S&W with a simple barrel change. You can use the same magazines. The same is true for shooting .40 in a .357 Sig. This is true with Sig Sauer guns as well. I have a Glock 23 (.40 S&W). I simple install the Glock 32 barrel (.357 Sig) which I purchased for $100. I can shoot .357 sig out of the same gun. The magazines (at least for Glock) for the .40 and .357 sig are interchangeable. You CANNOT safely shoot a .40 out of a .357 sig barrel or vice versa. A barrel swap is required. If you load a .357 Sig round into a barrel chambered in .40 S&W, it could fire, but it would probably cause damage to the gun and won't be accurate. .357 Sig has better "terminal performance" than the .40, but the .40 shells cost less which translates into more practice for the same $$$ with the .40, and better self defense with the .357.
