Some food for thought.

Do any of the mentioned pistol cartridges have as much ME as the by today's standards lowly .30-30W? Which I doubt would be ones first choice for a bear stopper.

I didn't look them all up, but the ones I did fall far short. The .357 isn't even close. Just to keep things in perspective.
