If you must go with a hollow point, the Corbon load previously mentioned is considered top-echelon right now. Golden Sabers would be my second choice.

IMHO, you should load up some FMJ and forget about it. Expansion hurts, penetration kills. This guy over at Sigforum recently did some chrono testing on .380 ball, and the Magtech stuff looks pretty good. The JHP's can only be trusted to guarantee proper results if you land a solid chest-only frontal shot. If the BG throws up his arms or turns to his side, you are rolling the dice.
