In the realm of firearms, precision and dependability are not mere luxuries—they are necessities. The Hornady XTP bullet stands as a testament to these essential qualities, offering unparalleled performance for hunters, self-defense practitioners, and law enforcement professionals alike. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the XTP is engineered to provide controlled expansion even at low velocities—a feature that ensures its effectiveness in a wide range of applications.

The secret behind this exceptional performance lies within its construction. Each XTP bullet features precise serrations that divide it into symmetrical sections. This strategic design weakens the jacket just enough to initiate controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining structural integrity during flight. With total uniformity of core density, shooters can expect both balanced expansion and remarkable in-flight stability.

The gilding metal jacket serves another crucial role: protecting the nose of the bullet while ensuring reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms—an often overlooked but vital aspect for those relying on their weapon's consistent operation under pressure.
