The Hornady XTP bullet stands as a paragon of precision and reliability, crafted for those who demand excellence in hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement scenarios. Its design is not merely about function but mastery over the art of ballistics.

The hallmark of the XTP lies in its precise serrations that methodically divide it into symmetrical sections. This strategic engineering weakens the jacket at just the right points to initiate controlled expansion, even when velocities are less than optimal. At its heart is a uniform core density that ensures both balanced expansion upon impact and unwavering in-flight stability.

This bullet’s gilding metal jacket serves dual purposes: protecting the nose during feed cycles—particularly vital for semi-automatic firearms—and facilitating proper hollow cavity function upon contact with your target. The varying thickness along the length of this projectile's jacket provides an advantage over conventional plated bullets by enhancing controlled expansion capabilities.

A particular note must be made regarding revolver applications; here, a cannelure—a groove around its circumference—is expertly integrated before final forming to ensure consistent crimping without compromising structural integrity or performance.

The stopping power delivered by Hornady's XTP has earned it accolades from competitive shooters and hunters alike. With every pull of the trigger comes assurance—confidence bolstered by deep penetration and reliable performance across diverse handgun velocities. It is no wonder then why this bullet remains one of America's most favored choices among discerning marksmen everywhere.
