Since a .454 RB weighs 140 grains, that works out to 253 ft-lb of kinetic energy.
A Ruger Old Army will shoot a .457 RB about 1036 fps with a 41 grain load of Goex FFFFg according to Lyman's Black Powder Handbook. That's about 340 ft-lb of kinetic energy.
.44 cap and ball revolver pretty much equals a .38 special.
