The Hornady XTP bullet stands as a paragon of accuracy and reliability, crafted for the demanding needs of hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement. Its design is meticulous, featuring precise serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections. This strategic engineering weakens the jacket intentionally to ensure controlled expansion even at low velocities—a critical feature where stopping power is paramount.
The gilding metal jacket not only protects but enhances performance by preserving the integrity of the nose upon impact. The hollow cavity further guarantees proper feeding in semi-automatic firearms—an essential consideration for anyone relying on rapid-fire capability without compromise.
With total uniformity in core density, each XTP bullet promises balanced expansion and unwavering in-flight stability. Unlike its plated counterparts with uniform thickness throughout, this bullet's varying jacket thickness offers unrivaled control over expansion dynamics.
This precision extends to revolver applications as well; a cannelure aids accurate crimping consistently across rounds—each applied pre-final forming process to maintain an impeccable finish free from distortion.
The reputation of Hornady’s XTP bullets has been built not merely on claims but proven results in real-world scenarios where every shot counts. From competitive shooting circuits to field hunts, these bullets deliver deep penetration reliably across various handgun velocities—a testament to their world-class standing among both target shooters and hunters alike.
