It shouldn't take 25 minutes to say '10 is a little warmer than 45 and the 10 magazine holds more rounds.'
Saying 10mm Auto is a 'little warmer' than .45 Auto is being extremely kind to the .45 Auto. With full house loads 10mm blows the 45 out of the water in every way possible and makes .357 Mag look weak.

From the specialty makers at least, full power .357 is right up there, while +P .45 is reasonably close.
A round fired from a 10mm will have the same amount of energy at 100 yards that a .45ACP will have at the muzzle, IIRC my tables
At SAAMI spec pressures, 10mm eats .357. A max 10mm Auto load will put 180gr bullet out at 1250fps from a 5" barrel. A max .357 load will put a 180gr bullet out at 1150fps from a 8" barrel. 10mm/155gr goes 1450fps, .357/158gr goes 1250fps. If the specialty manufacturers are getting significantly more than that they are exceeding industry standard pressures.
Anyway, I agree that Hickok45 is generally very long winded and that sometimes that is OK.
Thereabouts, yes.

A .357 will put a 180gr, through a 7" barrel at 1,394 fps using Vihtavuori N110; minus roughly 20 fps per inch, 1,344 is still quite warm. So, no, the 10mm doesn't blow it out of the water.
