.38 spl will shoot without problems from an 1892 Winchester that is chambered for .357 The .38 spl develops less pressure than the .357, and it the same diameter of bullet and casing

You may have a problem however with the .38 spl cartridges feeding properly from the magazine into the chamber. That is because the .38 specials are shorter than the .357 cartridges that the rifle was designed for.
