In Frank Barnes' Cartridges of The World, reference is made to the .357 being quite effective against the body armour worn by Chinese Communists in the Korean Conflict, perhaps identical to that worn as hand-me-down's to Viets?...might be worth a starting point.

Hell, if it did well then, perhaps improvements in ballistics and projectiles can only lead one to assume a fairly decent performance in later conflicts?
