At which caliber does a lead roundball, like those used in cap and ball revolvers, have the same stopping power as a modern 9mm hollow-point bullet?

Once upon a time it was commonly said that the .44 Walker Colt was the most powerful handgun made until the development of the .357 Magnum. I think the .45 Colt got overlooked.
Sanow claimed he drove a RB with 60 gr of 3F to 1280 fps plus, for just over 500 ft/lbs of energy.
Big fat and slow still does the job.
