The Hornady XTP bullet stands as a paragon of accuracy and reliability, trusted by hunters, self-defense advocates, and law enforcement professionals alike. These bullets are crafted with meticulous precision to ensure that every shot counts. The hallmark feature of the XTP is its precise serrations, which divide it into symmetrical sections. This design strategically weakens the jacket just enough to initiate controlled expansion upon impact—even at low velocities—making it indispensable for those who require dependable performance.
The gilding metal jacket serves not only as protection for the nose but also ensures seamless feeding in semi-automatic firearms. This attention to detail underscores Hornady's commitment to quality—a principle they uphold through continuous improvement and innovation within their reloading division.
Total uniformity of core density guarantees balanced expansion along with in-flight stability—a testament to its engineering excellence. Unlike plated bullets with uniform thickness throughout, the XTP’s varying jacket thickness offers superior control over expansion dynamics down its length. For revolver enthusiasts, a well-engineered cannelure ensures accurate crimping without distorting the bullet during formation.
The stopping power inherent in each round has solidified the Hornady XTP's reputation as a world-class option among competitive shooters and hunters alike. Its ability to expand reliably across various handgun velocities promises deep penetration with every pull of the trigger—truly making it an essential component in any serious marksman's arsenal.
