In general, any high-velocity rifle cartridge has better knock-down power than ANY normal pistol cartridge.
.........To prove that.......I think that any gun enthusiast that was attacked by a brown bear in Alaska would rather have in their hands the old 30-30 rifle rather than a 44-magnum six-gun!

All of which has nothing to do with the subject at hand... As usual...
