Hornady XTP® Bullet: Precision, Power, and Performance
In the realm of projectile design, few names resonate with authority like Hornady. The XTP® bullet stands as a testament to relentless pursuit of excellence in both accuracy and stopping power. Engineered for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, this bullet's performance has earned it widespread acclaim among competitive shooters.
The cornerstone of the XTP®'s superiority lies in its Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP) jacket. Unlike thin-plated full metal jackets that falter upon impact—distorting or breaking—the AMP jacket offers unparalleled durability. With virtually zero tolerance for concentricity and near-zero wall thickness variation, these bullets deliver uncompromised penetration without deformation.
- Caliber/Type: 41 Cal., XTP®
- Diameter: .410"
- Weight: 210 gr.
- Ballistic Coefficient: .182
- Sectional Density: .178
The engineering marvel of the XTP® is evident through its precise serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections. This strategic design weakens the jacket just enough to initiate controlled expansion at various velocities—a crucial feature for ensuring deep penetration with every shot.
Total uniformity of core density guarantees balanced expansion during flight and on target impact. By varying jacket thickness along its length, Hornady manages what plated bullets cannot—controlled expansion tailored to specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
A notable addition for revolver users is the cannelure feature which ensures accurate crimping consistency. Applied before final forming processes eliminate any risk of distortion to finished bullets; thus enhancing reliability when it matters most.
The Hornady XTP® embodies more than mere technical prowess—it represents an unwavering commitment to delivering precision where precision counts most: downrange effectiveness coupled seamlessly with ballistic integrity makes this offering from Hornady second-to-none amongst discerning marksmen worldwide seeking ultimate confidence behind their trigger pull each time they load up another round into chambered readiness!
Features
