.327 Fed Magnum compared to .357 Magnum compared to 9MM
.327 Fed Magnum compared to .357 Magnum compared to 9MM

.327 Mag........ 115 GDJHP.......1300 fps.....431 ft-lbs of energy
.327 Mag.........100 JSP...........1400 fps.....435 ft-lbs of energy
.357 Mag.........110 JHP...........1300 fps.....410 ft-lbs of energy
9MM Luger.......115+p+ JHP......1300 fps.....431 ft-lbs of energy

Looks like all deliver around the same energy, but, as I understand it, the recoil of the .327 Mag is significantly more manageable.
