Great for those who choose according to ballistics tables but meaningless in the real world.
I'm not really sure how to take this.
I think it is readily obvious to most folks that a .223 has more power than a 9mm, even though they have nearly identical "momentums," and even though the 9mm makes a bigger hole. (.355 vs .224)
(The .223 has about triple the energy, but the same momentum. )
Go ahead and draw your own conclusions as it relates to .44 special and .357 mag, but I dont think it's fair to call it meaningless.
