I have modified the Magtech bullets and reloaded them over some (probably) faster burning powder, to help push them along out of the short barrel of the Kel-Tec P32.

Basically, from the factory, the bullets would not expand out of the 2.75" barrel of the test gun. So, I pulled them and reloaded them with a Starline case, CCI small pistol primer and 2.2gr of N310 powder. The round on the right is a factory original bullet with no modifications, it went 11.5" in the gelatin and expanded to 0.408".

The bullet on the left is the same load, but the bullet has had a drop of Loctite super glue dropped into the cavity and allowed to dry. This bullet penetrated to 12.1" (FBI minimum depth is 12.0") and expanded to 0.403". Partially clogging the cavity of a hollowpoint will retard its expanded diameter, thus giving greater penetration. Something that is sorely needed in a .32ACP mousegun using a bullet that expands.
