Which one is more likely to stop an attacker at close range if both are shot out of a rifle? In other words, which has more "stopping power" with expanding defensive ammo?
Out of a rifle, 7.62x39 goes about 2400 fps at 124 grains, and it's .30 caliber.
Out of a rifle, high performance .357 Magnum goes about 2300 fps at 125 grains and is .35 caliber.
So .357 is bigger in diameter, 1 grain heavier (although that's negligible), and only 100 fps slower.
