In terms of velocity and energy, no, the .30 Carbine is much faster and has more energy behind it. I read info everywhere that says it's a very puny round, and perhaps within a stones throw, or in a lab shooting something at point blank range, the .45 ACP is better, but out past that at excess of 50-100 yards or further, the .45 won't be very effective, and perhaps neither will the .30 Carbine, but the .30 Carbine will at least have better ballistic efficiency out to those ranges making hits easier.
