The Hornady XTP® bullet stands as a testament to precision and power in the realm of handgun ammunition. Engineered for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, this projectile has earned its place among the elite with a reputation built on stopping power and accuracy. The XTP's design features precise serrations that divide it into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate controlled expansion even at lower velocities—a crucial factor when reliability is non-negotiable.
This bullet's core density is meticulously uniform, ensuring balanced expansion upon impact and maintaining stability during flight. Unlike plated bullets with uniform thickness throughout their jackets, the XTP varies in jacket thickness along its length—an innovation providing superior control over expansion dynamics.
An additional feature beneficial to revolver enthusiasts is the cannelure—a groove around the bullet that aids in achieving accurate crimping consistently. Each cannelure is applied before final forming processes are completed to preserve bullet integrity without distortion.
The Hornady XTP®, therefore, embodies what many seek in a handgun round—dependability across varied shooting scenarios while delivering deep penetration coupled with reliable expansion. Whether you're target shooting or preparing for defense situations, trust this cartridge to perform when it matters most.
