I'm a 9mm guy but 9mm is closer to 380acp than hot 357mag
So, since you have taken a college physics class, why not teach us about fluid dynamics and why the momentum model is better for comparing service calibers than the kinetic energy model???I'm tired of reading posts from people who have never taken a physics class, let alone done any actual testing work or calculations regarding terminal ballistics.
We should make a rule that if you haven't so much as taken a college physics class, or are newer than a year into guns, you shouldn't pass off your terminal ballistics OPINION as fact.
I can actually show you examples of this not being the case.So, since you have taken a college physics class, why not teach us about fluid dynamics and why the momentum model is better for comparing service calibers than the kinetic energy model???
Jath,
Barrel length is shown at the beginning of each row of data. The revolver barrel length was 1 7/8" -- barrel lengths for the semi autos were 3.5", 3.8" and 4.0".

Well, let's put your college physics to work so that you can share your formulas showing us the effectiveness of KE as it relates to terminal ballistics between the 10mm, 9mm +P+, 357SIG and 357 mag.I can actually show you examples of this not being the case.

i happen to have a ruger blackhawk convertable 357/9mm with a 6" barrel. im asking this because after this thread i honestly dont know any more. How much stouter would if any a standard 357mag be over a 9mm +p+?
