Introducing the .45 Caliber XTP® bullet, a paragon of precision and power, designed for those who require nothing but the best in hunting, personal defense, and law enforcement applications. This is not merely ammunition; it is a statement of reliability and effectiveness.
The heart of this projectile lies in its construction. With a caliber type of .45 Caliber XTP®, it boasts an impressive diameter of .452 inches and weighs 250 grains. These dimensions contribute to its remarkable ballistic coefficient of .146 and sectional density of .175—metrics that speak to its aerodynamic efficiency and penetration capability.
Engineered with precise serrations, each XTP® bullet divides into symmetrical sections upon impact. This design strategically weakens the jacket at key points to initiate controlled expansion even at lower velocities—a crucial feature when deep penetration can make all the difference.
The uniform core density ensures balanced expansion as well as consistent flight stability, making every shot count whether you're on the range or afield. The jacket thickness varies along the length of the bullet—a sophisticated engineering feat that offers superior performance compared to bullets with uniform plating.
A noteworthy feature for revolver enthusiasts is the cannelure—a groove around the circumference which aids in achieving accurate and consistent crimping. Each cannelure is meticulously applied before final forming to maintain structural integrity without distortion.
In essence, this bullet embodies what many competitive shooters have come to trust: accuracy that defines excellence combined with stopping power that commands respect across various shooting disciplines—from target practice to medium game hunting.
