However, from basic physics, energy equals mass times velocity
squared. Some smart German guy figured that out. So, the velocity
of a round has much more to do with the resultant imparted energy than
the mass of the slug, assuming they are somewhat similar. The table
in the provided link indicates that a typical .357 round has a much
higher muzzle velocity than a typical 45 round. So, if the German
guy is right, the energy on the target is higher with the 357.
