    Does anyone have a list of handgun ammo from strong to weak, and rifle rounds?


    Sorry if this is a repost, tried to search, wouldn't be surprised if i missed it.

    Also keep in mind that "strongest to weakest" is entirely subjective, too.

    Does speed = strong? Ft. Lbs of energy at the target? What distance is the target?

    You'd have to narrow down your fields quite a bit in order to make a standardized test.

    Then you have to determine how you'd go about choosing the projectile weight/s and the powder loading behind the bullet.

    You can get a .45ACP to produce less terminal energy than a .38Special if you work at it...

    In short, someone's "strength test" would be entirely subjective to that person and that person's opinion.

    Nothing about this is even remotely concrete... just a snapshot in time of some examples..

    Listing it just by caliber won't tell one much as far as "weakest to strongest" goes. I mean .380 ACP, 9mm, 38 spl, and .357 mag are all about the same caliber but certainly not the same "strength". Furthermore, you can have a range of loads for each cartridge. Calculating the muzzle energy for each load and sorting them is probably the most objective way to do it; even though muzzle energy by itself doesn't tell the whole story.

    I guess i'm not done buying different calibers yet... what is the wife going to say! Neat list, and that doesn't include the wildcat catridges either.

    I havn't seen a list exactly like you want online but i know of one similar. If you go to your local gun store, you might be able to pick up a Hornady ammo catalog, or any and all others for that matter. They have a big chart that will give you a good idea of the power levels of every caliber they produce. They will also show you how amazingly wide the vaariations can be for the same caliber.
