Hornady 35750 XTP .357 Caliber 158 Grain Hollow Point Ammunition

Hornady .38 Cal XTP® Bullet

The Hornady .38 Cal XTP® bullet stands as a testament to the principles of quality, continuous improvement, and innovation that define Hornady's reloading division. This premium projectile is crafted for those who demand excellence in their ammunition—be it for varmint control, medium game hunting, or personal defense.

At its core, the XTP bullet boasts a diameter of .357 inches and a weight of 158 grains. It features a ballistic coefficient of .206 and sectional density of .177, ensuring optimal performance with every shot. The design incorporates precise serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections. This strategic engineering initiates controlled expansion by weakening the jacket at key points even at low velocities—a crucial factor whether you're on the hunt or defending your home.

The hallmark trait of this bullet lies in its stopping power. Its ability to expand reliably over a wide range of handgun velocities delivers deep penetration consistently—an attribute highly valued by both target shooters and hunters alike. The uniformity in core density guarantees balanced expansion while maintaining flight stability.

A distinctive feature exclusive to revolver bullets within this line is the cannelure, which aids in achieving accurate and consistent crimping without distorting the final form during manufacturing processes. Unlike plated bullets with uniform thickness throughout, varying jacket thicknesses along the length provide superior control over expansion dynamics.

Whether you are an experienced handloader tailoring ammunition to specific shooting needs or someone seeking reliable performance from factory rounds, Hornady's XTP offers unmatched precision and confidence in each round fired.
