In another thread I posted yesterday, I heard mention of several different handgun calibers.  Most of these I've never heard of.

.44 Special
.44 Magnum
.454 Casull
.50 AE
30-06
.475 linebaugh magnum
.500 linebaugh magnum
.480 ruger
.457 magnum copilot
10mm glock
.45 acp

Can you list out each cartridge's bullet weight, bullet size, and velocity. And can you rank them in order of their "power".

10mm original norma 1200 200gr
45acp 230 gr at 900 but its a little rough on 1911's


457 co piolot and 30-06 are rifle rounds I dont shoot themout of a handgun length bl.I like single action revolvers.the 457 is about like a heavy 45-70 or 450 Marlin
