I don't shoot .380 a lot so I load only one bullet, Hornady 90 gr. XTP. Great bullet, good accuracy, and not much more cost to buy over plated or lead bullets. I've tested several powders and get more consistent velocity with AA#2 powder. I've also tried Shooters World Clean Shot which uses the same load data as AA#2. Powders in the Unique and Power Pistol burn rate always gave erratic velocity and as much as 200 fps differences. I recommend a faster burning powder. I've always used CCI 500 primers. Watch for Hornady 90 gr. XTP's on sale for a great .380 load.
