Kind of a middle of the range load, which is good. Check the springs on your pistol if it’s a blowback action and a little older. A new pistol should be tight and right. Where are you getting brass? New, range collected, internet sellers? Good brass is a must.

You should be golden. 3.2gr isn’t a powder puff but it’s stout enough. I’ve loaded up to 3.5gr with the Xtreme 95gr RFN for my wife’s Walther PK380 and not had any problems or signs of excessive pressure. Good extraction, accurate, consistent, and feeds well.
 
It’s what I use with the Lee 95gr lead flat nose tumble lube bullet. I also powder coat them and size to .356”.
Also, with the 90gr Hornady JHP.
 
update well guys I very much thank you for all ya'lls help as i made up some 380acp last night using this new to me powder the hp-38 well i loaded them with 3.2grs and the 95gr lead bullets and my pistol loved this load and shot a nice group! so again guys thanks for your help!! :) oh i just remembered i won a lee carbide factory crimp die part number 90867 and it came in yesterday morning so I tried it last night and it works great!
