In the realm of ammunition, precision and reliability are paramount. The XTP® bullet from Hornady stands as a testament to these principles, offering unparalleled performance for hunters, self-defense enthusiasts, and law enforcement professionals alike. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this 30 Caliber projectile is engineered to meet the demands of those who settle for nothing less than excellence.
The XTP®, or eXtreme Terminal Performance bullet, boasts a diameter of .309 inches and weighs in at 90 grains. Its design incorporates precise serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections. This strategic engineering initiates controlled expansion upon impact—a feature crucial for effective stopping power across a wide range of velocities.
A key attribute of the XTP® is its total uniformity in core density. This ensures not only balanced expansion but also superior in-flight stability—traits essential for accuracy whether you're on the range or in pursuit of game. Unlike plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness throughout, the XTP® utilizes varying jacket thicknesses along its length to manage expansion effectively.
For revolver aficionados, you'll appreciate how each cannelure—a groove around the circumference of a bullet—facilitates accurate and consistent crimping. These cannelures are applied before final forming processes to preserve integrity without distorting the finished product.
This careful construction has earned it favor among competitive shooters, target practitioners, and hunters worldwide who demand both precision and formidable terminal ballistics from their ammunition choice.
Whether your aim is defending home frontiers or pursuing quarry under open skies, trust in Hornady's 30 Caliber XTP®. It delivers deep penetration coupled with reliable expansion at varied handgun speeds—qualities that have cemented its world-class reputation over time.
