GOB,
Suggest you compare the physics and not what you felt. The 380 has higher energy than a 36 round ball, period. The round ball weighs about 83 grains, being kind here, it travels at about the same velocity as the 100 grain 380 bullet, you tell me which has more energy. Actually the 380 gets to near 1,000 fps on Hodgdon's charts and the RB by the Lyman manual runs about 750. Felt recoil from a revolver is no comparison to energy, especially if you are talking a shot from an auto VS revolver.

Come on man, I have shot BP all of my adult life and owned over a dozen BP revolvers. Most have no idea the RB weighs so little, I figured someone would bite on that. You may pick up your BS flag and stick it back in your pocket.
