yep:

you can shoot .38 spl in a .357 with no problem.

And it's cheaper.

I have a old CZ52  it takes the 7.62 /25

At gun shows I've been told I can shoot any 7.62/25

in it and I do.   When I go to buy the hotter Czech ammo

the ammo dealers allways ask if I'm buying for the Tokarev

saying that it cant or shouldent be loaded with the Czeck

ammo!!   Is the Tokarev  that much weaker of a gun?

cant take the higher pressure?

I can feel a difference when i shoot the different ammos.

At very much the same cost I try ta allways get the Czeck ammo when I can.

Is doing so causing more wear than if i used the ''lighter'' ammo?

Is it less powder or a different powder?

Because I've been told all 7.62 / 25 and as far as my AK-- 7.62/39  has ''crossive''

primmers I allways clean the guns very well   maybe to the point of over cleaning!!

 

 

Gunrockets

 

The 357 Magnum and 38 Spl. both actually use a .357 inch bullet. the difference is the shell case and powder charge.

 

Grey Wolf

The .357 case is about 1/10th inch longer, to stop it being chambered in a .30 special.

 

The bullets are the same diameter.
