It depends entirely on the muzzle velocity of the weapon you are using. The higher the muzzle velocity the farther the projectile will travel.
@ 1000 fps
Muzzle velocity of the SS-109 cartridge is about 3100 feet per second.
The L1A1 SLR used by the British military is in caliber 7.62 NATO, and has a muzzle velocity of about 2800 fps.
The M4A1 version of the M16 rifle has a muzzle velocity of about 2900 feet per second, firing the 5.56mm cartridge.

Muzzle velocity is a function of type and quantity of powder, as well as the mass of the projectile and the length of barrel. All of these factors being equal except the bullet sizes in the question, probably the 357 with the lesser mass would have the higher muzzle velocity.
