Default RE: 'Power' rankings of handgun ammo...

Interesting...

I looked at the Federal, and Remington ballistics charts, and it would seem that the .357 sig is faster and packs a bigger punch than even the 40S&W (and in some cases, even more so than the .45 at the muzzel!!) I'm guessing it's loaded to higher pressures... (?)

Even the 9mm, when loaded with the right ammo, puts up some very respectible numbers.

Anyone have any experiences with a .357 sig to relate? Also, any experiences with +P ammo? (Apparently it's loaded at higher pressures and performs a little better.) The Remington web site indicates that the +P can only be used in certain guns... I imagine they need to be beefed up a bit to handle a heavier pounding.
