I personally don't consider the .380 as a primary SD caliber, more like a second gun/last ditch caliber.
My only carry caliber is 9mm and the only load I use is Federal's 9BPLE 115JHP+P+.
Whatever load one chooses to use in their SD pistols it is important to test that ammo with all magazines that is intended to be used and my philosophy is at a minimum 200 rounds thru the pistol with zero malfunctions before I'll trust my life to that specific pistol/mag/ammo combination.
