If you have a .38Spl revolver and a .357 revolver you have a gun with the same bore. Same with .44Spl and .44Mag.
Yet each gun in the mag category will handle far higher pressures than the Spl.
Why?
Where is the strength located in the gun. With a .38Spl and a like-sized .357Mag side by side which components will be the more heavily engineered?
My guess is the cylinder. But what about the barrel?
