Default Can I load a 9mm bullet in a .38 Special case?

I don’t know if this is wise or if it will work but I’ll ask all the same before I load any.

I have a couple of boxes of 124GR 9mm plated bullets but don’t own a 9mm pistol. A .38 Special bullet measures .357 and the 9mm is .355. Because the 9’s don’t have a cannula they will need to be taper crimped in the .38 case. With a good crimp I think they will be OK in my old M&P revolver.

Can this be done and still have a reasonably accurate round or am I missing something?

Thanks
