The 10 mm and .357 magnum are very, very close in energy. The 10 mm uses a little heavier bullets, but sacrifices a little energy with those bullets.

For the same weight bullets, they are so close the difference is inconsequential, IMHO.

There are a lot more options in .357 firearms so barrel length becomes a big variable when comparing the performance of the .357 to the 10mm (which has a minimal range of weapons to choose from). All other things being equal, with proper loads, I’ve always thought of the 10 as bridging the gap between the .357 and .41 magnums.
