Don't you mean that the other way around? My Highway Patrolman shoots
.38's
but is a .357 magnum frame (and shoots them!).

Nope - just the way I spake it.

I think you need to check again. A .357 will chamber a .38 special, a .38
special CANNOT chamber a .357. The .357 case is quite a bit longer than a
..38.
