Many pistol powders will work good enough. Sorry to be vague

I've not loaded the 380 specifically, but I have had great success with Power Pistol in the 9mm - Just checked and Alliant has load data on its website.

I have loaded both 231 and Clays in .380 with good results. Any fast burning pistol powder will give good results.
If you are going to load lead bullets, the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook has several good bullet/powder combinations.
1911 - for the times when 911 just isn't fast enough.
