Not bad, but typical .32 JHP penetration. Hornady seems to have "gotten it" early when they made the XTP for .32 and .380 ACP designing it to expand less to penetrate more.

I don't think I'd trust any .32 JHP to expand tho in a pistol like the Kel Tec, barrel's too short.

..let alone the Seecamp.

My P32 has a Fiocchi 60-grain JHP in the chamber, and another first-up in the magazine. The remaining rounds are Fiocchi FMJ.

My Seecamp has the Fiocchi JHP in the same places, and the remaining rounds are WWB flat-nosed (truncated) FMJ.

Vyse ???

Is this an aviation thread?
(Vyse is: Best rate of climb speed- single engine, for a multi-engine aircraft). AKA “blue line”

OTOH:
I carry the Federal 65gr HS in my Beretta M81.
60gr XTP’s loaded in NUF Magtech brass w/Fed#100 primers, over max charge of PowerPistol for ~950fps (2”bbl) from KelTec.
Also have some loaded with 60gr GoldDots, which are recently “unobtanium”.
