I also believe that square tip props have more "solidity" and therefore can produce much more torque. So even though the P-3 and C-130 have the exact same engine, the c-130 produce more torque. The loss of efficiency with the square tips at cruise speed (300 Kts) in the c-130 means that the p-3 with its rounded props can crz a lot faster.
