Hmmmm.... Not so awsome. I wish Buffalo Bore loaded Gold Dots for thier 380 HP round. I might have to load some myself or just load 7 rounds of the hardcast flat nose rounds in my 380. Kind of telling here.
There is no expanding bullet that is fired from a 380 that will give what I would consider adequate penetration. The one tested did as well as could be expected.
The 100 grain hard cast tested did extremely well for a 380 and is by far the best choice
