Nice to see numbers translated to a visual graphic (is there any other kind?). I realize you limited your criteria to energy but you should know that the bullets of a .38 spl hollow point may be much different than the .380 by the same manufacturer. The Speer Gold Dot has a mouth that practically gapes in .38 special while the .380 does not do so nearly as much. Plus, I'm a believer in bullet momentum more than energy. When that is considered, the .38 spl fares better because of generally heavier bullets.
