No. It is a fatter diameter than .357, and will not fit. The bullet diameter is .361, instead of .357.

Can I shoot 357 ammo in 38 special smith and Wesson?

No. .357 Magnum uses more powerful loads and produces much higher pressure than the .38 special. Shooting a round with .357 pressures in a .38 gun is very likely to blow it up. .357 Magnum has a longer case than the .38 Special. This was done specifically to prevent .357 ammunition from being chambered in .38 revolvers. If you can chamber a .357 in a .38 special revolver, have it checked by a competent gunsmith before shooting it.
