+1 the 90 grain Hydra-Shok is the only expanding ammunition I would consider in the .380 ACP but I will stick with the Buffalo Bore Standard Pressure 100 grain hard cast FP which sill go two feet in ballistic gelatin or what I mostly use, the Winchester WB 95 grain FMJ FP which goes 20 inches. Regardless I get fantastic straight line penetration with the destruction of the flat point.
