no the 38 bullet is fatter and and the special is smaller
It depends on several factors, but a good rule of thumb is "about a mile."
A bullet that has left the barrel has marks left from its travel down the barrel.
If by 38 you mean the 38 special , the answer is yes , as both use a .357 dia bullet
I have seen people shoot accurately at 100 yards or more with a .38 pistol. However, in general, a pistol bullet can travel, on average, about a mile.
No, it is not recommended to use a .357 bullet in a .38 Special revolver as the .357 bullet is longer and may not fit properly, potentially causing safety issues or damage to the firearm.
It depends on what you mean by "break."
The .357 has a longer case and a heavier bullet; it is identical to a .38 in diameter but far more powerful. This is why a .38 will fire in a .357 but not the other way around.
.38 Special is a rimmed cartridge, designed for revolvers, while .38 Super is designed for semi auto pistols, and uses a recessed canneleure, rather than a rim. Additionally, the .38 Super has a bullet diameter of .355 inches, vs. the .38 Special's bullet diameter of .357 inches.

.38 Special, yes. Other .38 cartridges (such as the .38 Long Colt or .38 Super), no.
I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm confident a metal jacketed 38 special bullet will go through a human head at 300 ft.
