It's very difficult to give a definitive answer, because different cartridges have different specifications, and you will see different performance depending on the barrel length of the gun the bullet is fired from. One particular 9mm might be better than one particular .38, but not better than another. If you don't have other access to any type of ballistics chart, try an internet search for "handgun bullet ballistics chart" or something similar and see what you can find.
