In the realm of firearms, precision and reliability are paramount. Enter the Hornady XTP® bullet—an exemplary choice for those who demand nothing short of excellence in their ammunition. Built with a rugged AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jacket, this round sets itself apart by ensuring superior performance where others falter.
The thin-plated full metal jackets offered by competing manufacturers often succumb to distortion or separation upon impact. In stark contrast, the Hornady AMP jacket boasts virtually zero tolerance for concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation. This meticulous construction allows it to punch through targets without deforming or breaking—a testament to its robust design.
The 10mm XTP®, with a diameter of .400 inches and weighing in at 200 grains, is engineered for optimal performance across diverse applications such as hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement. Its ballistic coefficient stands at .199 while maintaining a sectional density of .179—figures that underscore its aerodynamic efficiency and penetrative capability.
What truly distinguishes the XTP® is its controlled expansion mechanism. Precise serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate reliable expansion even at lower velocities—a feature highly valued by competitive shooters who have come to trust its accuracy under pressure.
Total uniformity in core density ensures not only balanced expansion but also remarkable in-flight stability. The varying thickness down the length of each bullet provides an edge over plated counterparts which suffer from uniform thickness throughout.
For revolver enthusiasts seeking consistent crimping results, Hornady applies cannelures before final forming processes commence—eliminating any potential distortion post-production.
The stopping power delivered by these bullets has earned them world-class recognition among target shooters and hunters alike. When you choose Hornady's XTP®, you're opting for dependable penetration combined with precise control—the very essence of what makes shooting both artful and effective.
