Probably not, but that 10mm would likely have better penetration when comparing equal weight bullets (or even 180gr vs 185gr listed above-The .40 is heavier for caliber). To me, that would make a more significant difference than just energy especially when going against heavier skinned stuff.Is the difference in ME between a 10mm and 45+p significant enough to make a difference in any scenario you can imagine here in the lower 48?
I'd say anything more than 15%What is generally considered a significant increase in muzzle energy for handguns? 50? 75 ft lbs? 100?

significant increase in muzzle energy
Reminds of the movie White Christmas where Bing Crosby finds out the cost of moving his show to the Vermont hotel and says "Wow!" Partner Danny Kaye asks, "How much is Wow?" and Crosby replies, "It's right in between Ouch! and Boing!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTL453yF5BQWhat is generally considered a significant increase in muzzle energy for handguns? 50? 75 ft lbs? 100?
Nominal from a rifle maybe.For a .22 with a nominal 120 ft lbs muzzle energy, 50 ft lbs would be very significant
