"Powerful" is subjective. The .357 commonly has a velocity of somewhere between 1000 and 1500 feet per second and muzzle energy between 450 and 600 foot pounds. The .45 ranges from a little over 800 to about 1100 feet per second and muzzle energy between 350 and 550 foot pounds (all those numbers are appoximate), so it depends on which specific cartridges you compare.
