Jeff, I know you're going the right direction with this. There is another thing to consider beyond regular penetration. Exit through skin. Skin is tough. The bullet has already been reduced in speed by going through flesh. Exiting the skin means it is really slow. Hand gun ballistics are very different than rifle. The velocities are 1/2 to 1/3rd.
This is why I load my .380 with FMJ and my .45 with alternating Corbon and FMJ. If I had access to commercial semi-wad cutters, I would use those.
