Quoted:
Since 380 can’t be relied upon to expand, and if it does it has insufficient penetration, FMJ is generally a better option and even its penetration is on the low side.

I use underwood .380 90gr Xtreme penetrator and with my ballistics gel testing they penetrate to 17" very consistently through both bare and 4 layers of denim

The new Federal Hydrashok Deep seems to be the best engineered bullet for .380 currently.

I still carry XTP though because it cost less

In this testing from Lucky Gunner, that Speer load didn’t do as well as some of the others, including 2 of Hornady’s offerings.
