To answer your question, yes, there is often a significant difference in powder charges between lead and jacketed data. Lead is a much softer metal and self lubricating, although additional lube is often needed.
I second the XTreme. Their 95gr PRN is my standby standard for .380. My standard is the Speer 95gr TMJ If I ever run out then I will probably switch to the Xtreme full time. I have some other odds and ends that I use for plinking but the Speer are good and fairly cheap online if you bargain shop.I’ve been loading Xtreme 100gr RNFP for quite a while, I get ‘em 1,500 at a time in an ammo box for a bit under 9 cents a round.

They'll work well for you, can't go wrong there.
Only thing that doesn't thrill me about the RMR 95gr is the exposed lead core on the base. I would prefer FMJ or plated bullets.
Actually I was looking at the solid base 100gr rather than the HB.
How do you feel about coated…..??
I use both the berry 380 bullets, the hollow base, and the traditional round nose. Hodgedon actually has published data for both those bullets specifically. They both work well. In many of my guns, no discernable difference to fmj. They are now my 380 goto. I get slightly better accuracy with the HB.
Capt Kirk, FMJ will have an exposed lead base. That's how FMJ is formed/made. Hollow points have the exposed lead at the point. If you want fully covered, then plated is what you would need. Some companies market a TMJ (total metal jacket) which are plated, albeit thick, but plated.
FMJ is a jacketed bullet with an open base. If they want to make an HP or SP,
