As you may know, there's a lot of debate between the 357 and 45 rounds, and I'm specifically here about penetration vs stopping power. Would a 357 hollow point be similar to a 45 ACP (non HP)? So, is the energy in a .357 HP is consumed at the initial target/hit area like a 45 ACP due to the hollow point design; or, does the 357 HP relatively continue to penetrate? Or, are they really close in ballistics performance between penetration and stopping power? I know that there are more variables to consider, but all else constant, how do each of these compare? Thanks in advance.
